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.
