From a logger's house to twenty keys
The year the motel's first floor went up. The cabins behind it are older, and they started as a shipwreck.
Read the Curley's story1938
A logger's home on the hillside road
Curley and Thora Couvelier bought what is now Curley's as their home. Curley worked as a local logger, like many Sekiu residents at the time, and their children went to the school on the hillside above the property.

Cabins from a shipwreck
A ship ran aground near Sekiu Point. Curley salvaged lumber from the wreck and built several cabins on the property, rented to the logging crews working in the area. Those are the cabins you can still book today.
1954
Eight units, all electric
As Sekiu became known for big Chinook salmon, more resorts appeared along Front Street. The motel's first floor went up with eight units, every one with electric appliances, proudly advertised on the sign out front.

A second storey
Four years later a second storey was added, and the whole family kept busy as the business grew.
Today
Twenty units, one dock
Hotel rooms and cabins, a home away from home on the Olympic Peninsula, whether you came to fish, rest and recharge, hike, or visit someone you love.
