Where Creativity Flourishes

 

Dumas Bay Centre sits off the beaten path on a bluff above the

Puget Sound offering peace and quiet to those who find their way

here. For nearly 40 years, it was run as a convent and women's

retreat center; its secluded location and natural beauty providing

the ideal setting for a conplative lifestyle. Though purchased by

the city in 1993 the lush 12 acres that house the Centre remain

beautifully serene and include stunning views of the Puget Sound

and Olympic Mountains, a sculpture garden, rose garden and

manicured lawns perfect for strolling on those much needed breaks.

 

Food for Thought

 

Coffee, tea and hot chocolate can be enjoyed all day long with a freshly baked assortment of delectable cookies provided at break time. With spring in the air we’ll be enjoying lunch on the lawn as a group so please bring along a sack lunch for yourself.
