Precious Life Animal Sanctuary A safe home for animals who have suffered from cruelty and neglect Somebody Cared High above the town of Sequim toward the Olympics on Lost Mountain Highway autumn winds blow yellow leaves across a checkered landscape of forest hidden homes and a large clearcut. The scar from the clearcut years ago remains today after removal of a once beautiful canopy of fir cedar and wellmarked trails from deer elk and bear. Mother Nature has never recovered from the leveled forest which is now covered in a dense slash of limbs branches discarded timber vines blackberries and salal. There are a few conifers but dominant fastgrowing alders that have fallen or bowed over from shallow roots and powerful winds.
