We love a good timelapse video here at the RJB Barn! 🎥✨

Take a look at the Sequim High Class of 1996 crew hard at work transforming the space for their big Saturday night reunion.

You can even see that "disco barn" effect happening inside as they work! 🪩 That natural light show comes courtesy of our original upper east side cedar shake roof—it has quite a few holes and definitely needs to be replaced, but it sure makes for some fun lighting in the meantime! ☀️✨

Standing beneath this historic timber, you can’t help but think about all the decades of life this barn has seen. It makes you wonder: in all its years, has the RJB Barn ever witnessed a barn dance or a bash quite like the one about to go down? 🤠🎶

The stage is set, the dance floor is ready, and the wolves are back! 🐺

Getting ready for an unforgettable night at the RJB Barn! 🎉💜💛

We are thrilled to host the Sequim High Class of 1996 for their 30 year Reunion!

The decorating crew showed up and worked pure magic. The photos show them hard at work, turning our rustic space into the ultimate celebration hall!

The barn ancestors are dusting off their overalls and getting ready to party right alongside us. Back in their day, these weathered timbers only knew rugged pioneer agriculture, clanking machine shops, towering stacks of sweet hay, and the chorus of hound dog kennels. They never dreamed this hardworking barn would throw a bash like this, but their spirits will definitely be cuttin’ a rug with us! 👻💃

A huge thank you to:
Brad with LiteHouse Shelters for getting the space sparkling clean and ready.

The Class of ’96 decorating crew for putting in the work and giving these old barn bones a stunning new look!📸

Keep an eye out for more photos and videos of the reunion!

The Dungeness River is what transformed Sequim into a thriving agricultural hub. Back in the day, the RJB Barn relied heavily on river irrigation to keep our livestock fed and our hay fields lush.

We’ve stepped back from daily pipe-moving, but we still use that historic irrigation water to keep things looking beautiful for special events at the barn! 🎉

Preserving a piece of our local history... 🏛️🌾

It is amazing what a single photograph can preserve. This mid-90s view from the corner of N Priest and W Hendrickson Rd captures a moment frozen in time. Looking closely, you can see the RJB Barn exactly as it used to be, featuring the hound dog kennels still attached to the west side.

✨ THE DISCO BARN IS REAL! ✨
We didn't know what we would capture when we installed a camera inside the barn, but what we did capture was truly breathtaking. 📽️✨

In this 24-hour timelapse video, watch the sun filter through the roof holes and create a stunning, moving disco ball effect across the wood! 🏚️

⚠️ The Problem: Those beautiful light beams mean roof holes.
🌱 The Goal: Keep these historic bones dry and alive.
🛠️ The Mission: Preserve this legacy before the roof collapses.

We can't stop Brad from LiteHouse Shelters from working on our barn... and we absolutely love it! 🛠️

He is currently replacing the rotten, worn-out boards on the sun-drenched south side and prepping them for a fresh coat of paint. 🎨 He is a mad barn man on a mission!

We love the combination of:
Reclaimed wood with rustic character
Restored stained glass from the old farmhouse

What do you think of our new south side look?

Throwback to the late 1970s! 📸

This classic shot captures Bonnie Janssen Gragg Belfield (3rd generation) and a young Jeffery (Jay) Belfield Jr. (4th generation) on a mini-bike in the field just southwest of the RJB Barn.

Take a closer look at what’s hiding in this picture:

The "Boat Barn": In the background this building was built by the Janssens in the 1960s to build—you guessed it—boats! ⛵️

The Lessel Barn: To the right you can barely see a sliver of the barn that stood until the early '90s. 🐄

Those pesky rocks: And of course, to the left, you can’t miss a healthy crop of "Sequim potatoes" resting on the ground! 😉🪨

Who else has harvested these famous local potatoes?
