The Area

Located on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula, the Sequim-Dungeness Valley is famous for its mild, dry climate and as a haven for those seeking to live in an unparalleled natural environment. Its proximity to Olympic National Park and Canada, its fields of lavender and its small-town ambience make it a favorite destination for relocation because it offers a style of life that is becoming all too rare.

Thanks to the “rain shadow” created by the majestic Olympic Mountains, the Sequim area gets more sunshine throughout the year than anywhere else in Western Washington, receiving an average of only 15 inches of rain annually. The mild weather allows for year-round golf and gardening, as well as exploration of the surrounding forest, beaches and mountains.

Another pleasant aspect of life in Sequim is the friendly people. Small-town values still apply here (visitsun.com - cityofsequim.com) – it’s common for folks to wave to each other on the trails, streets and sidewalks as they shop, walk to work or take their daily constitutionals. Lending a hand to those in need is a core value as well.
