Pioneer History

Pioneers were originally designated as Grand Pioneers or Honorary Pioneers. Grand Pioneers were defined as persons born within the Sequim School District or born out of Sequim School District is acceptable if the family was living in Sequim at the time and currently lives in Sequim. Honorary Pioneers are persons who have lived in Sequim for many years or who have lived in Sequim many years ago who does not qualify as a Grand Pioneer.

In 2023 the Pioneer Associated eliminated the designation of Grand and Honorary Pioneers and all pioneers are Honored Pioneers. Honored Pioneers are a tribute to those who came early and stayed late. Honored Pioneers must be a descendent who has/had a parent, grandparent or great-grandparent that lived within the current boundaries of the Sequim School District prior to 1950. These Honored Pioneers are selected by the Pioneer Committee. The Honored Pioneers are guests at the annual Pioneer Dinner, held at Macleay School, currently known as the Sequim Prairie Grange. The individuals selected as Honored Pioneers represent the history that is so important to Sequim and the Irrigation Festival.
