What a beautiful day for a hike! I had planned to go out to Porter Creek, but ended up getting waylaid waiting for a contractor, so I decided to check out Sequalitchew Creek instead. The trailhead is at Dupont City Hall, so there's plenty of parking. There is a port-a-potty located at the trailhead for anyone who needs to use it.
The trail itself follows the creek down the little canyon and onto the beach. The path back takes you gently uphill. There were sections of the trail with water on it and running across it, but nothing that could cause any problems. I saw lots of dogs and a few families with strollers. About 1/3 of the trail is paved, but the rest is dirt and rock. The real highlight of the hike is the beach! It was so beautiful and came with a lovely view of the Olympic Mountains. If you are in the area, this is a great leg stretcher!
