What Makes Sequim WA so Incredible?

January 20, 2015 by Chuck Marunde

What in the world makes Sequim WA so great? Why has Sequim WA been named One of Ten Best Places to Retire in America and The No. 1 City to Grow Old and Be Happy. There are a lot of reasons, and they grow on you the longer you live in Sequim. I’ll share just a short list here of key reasons that the quality of life in Sequim is so amazing.

Sequim WA Best Place to Live

I’ve said before that if you could make a checklist of 100 of the most important things you would want in the perfect retirement location, Sequim would have more of those items checked than any other place in the U.S. When it comes to growing old and being happy, many other people involved in a national survey conducted by the Huffington Post agree that Sequim is one of the Best American cities for Growing Old and Happy.

Sequim WA Best Place for Low Stress and Quality of Life

Retirees who move to Sequim WA often say that their stress level dropped substantially, and not just because they retired. Many retired before they moved to Sequim. There is the climate and weather, which includes the famous Sequim Blue Hole or the Sequim Rain Shadow, and that creates a wonderful home without temperature extremes either way. But we also have year-round recreation, hiking, boating, sailing, fishing, biking, jogging, flying, and just about every activity you can think of. We are off the beaten path of the I-5 corridor, which means we don’t have traffic jams and lots of people driving through Sequim WA. We are a quiet rural community, and most people living here have traditional values, and everyone talks about how friendly people are.

Life is wonderful in one of the best places to live and retire, Sequim WA.

Dungeness River

May 23, 2014 by Chuck Marunde

The Sequim Dungeness River pours down the mountains out of the Olympic Mountains from its source, snow and glaciers. Way up in the mountains, I took this photo of the Dungeness River. How could I not? It was so beautiful, and if you can imagine the sound of the gurgling water, it was just therapeutic.

If you like nature, hiking, photography, or just soaking in the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula, you’ll love Sequim and the Olympic National Park. From where I took this photo, there are miles and miles of mountain trails. You’ll run out of energy and snacks before you run out of trails. This location is at the end of Palo Alto Road and near the intersection of the Sequim Dungeness River and the Gray Wolf River.

Dungeness River Fishing

The Dungeness River has some nice fish in it, and in the hottest days of summer when my boys were young, they would jump off the bridge into the river on Woodcock Road, and periodically they would raft down the river to where the river finishes its long run into the bay by Three Crabs Road. The Sequim Dungeness River is definitely one of nature’s treasures.

Sequim Golf Courses

May 6, 2014 by Chuck Marunde

Sequim golf courses are very popular to golfers from all over the northwest, primarily because the rainfall is less on Sequim golf courses than all the other golf courses in the northwest. The famous Sequim blue hole is a golfers delight. This is a photo of the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course on Woodcock Road a few miles north of Sequim. This is definitely one of the best of the Sequim golf courses.  It is a year-round 6,610-yard, par 72, 18-hole Championship course.  It is actually the driest course in Western Washington, and that includes all the Seattle area courses.  This allows The Cedars at Dungeness to host a number of Pro and Pro-Am tournaments throughout the year.
