Description of this Beautiful Area and Your Agent

Are you looking for the Sunshine Capital of the Pacific Northwest? How about  Northwest life at it's best? It's right here in Sequim! Our rainfall is less than 20 inches a year thanks to the rain shadow; the temperature is mild, and the people are friendly. Our playground is located against the back drop of the Olympic mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca making our valley a living diorama of incredible beauty.  Sequim is Washington's retirement mecca. Tom and I have lived here 18 years. During this time we've watched a sleepy farm town grow into a  bustling community with something for everyone. We have excellent medical facilities, lots of entertainment and a growing school system. So come on - stop dreaming and move to Sequim, we are the apple of Washington's eye!
