Where Is Sequim, Washington And Why Is Everybody Moving There? By Don Fourtner At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The small city of Sequim, Washington sits on Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest almost directly across the water from Vancouver Island, Canada. The ambience of this Dungeness Valley paradise could never be described in words. However, I will attempt to do so in hopes that you might find out what thousands of visitors a year already know.

Coming into Sequim from the East, you are instantly stricken by the majestic mountain range to the south and the sweeping water views from the north. You might even notice the subtle change in the cloud cover as you drive into the valley. That is because Sequim is the driest spot in Western Washington, getting just an average of 18” of rain per year. However, there is just enough of a mix of rain and sun to keep the town and surrounding neighborhoods lush and green practically year round.

The natural layout and location of Sequim allows for an eclectic variety of outdoor activities. The surrounding area offers a paradise of fishing, hunting, hiking, bicycling, nature walks, river rafting, skiing (both snow & water), scuba diving, beach combing, swimming, boating, gardening, farming, vineyards and a variety of other activities.

The organization of the City of Sequim appears to be setup with the foresight of accommodating the people who would settle here.

For such a small town, Sequim boasts of state of the art medical facilities, world class golf communities and some of the best restaurants on the Olympic Peninsula.

Sequim is a very social place and the residents assure that it stays that way. Visitors need only visit one of the many festivals hosted during the year to feel the sense of pride & community.

If you have never visited Sequim, Washington, I invite you to do so and find out what all the fuss is about. When you are here, drive around and see for yourself. Perhaps, you could visit the nearby historical city of Port Townsend, take the ferry across the water to Victoria, Canada or sit in the natural hot springs of Sol Duc.
