(Sequim) -- The city of Sequim has a new marketing and communications manager.
Barbara Hanna was named to the job today by Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett.

She began her career in public relations for the Nordstrom company, and worked in marketing and P.R. for The Art Institute of Seattle.
For the past seven years she has focused on agri-tourism as the owner of the Lost Mountain Lavender farm in Sequim.
