Winter is Better in Sequim

Planning a winter escape is simply not necessary for Sequim residents. Since it’s located within the rain shadow of the Olympic mountain range, Sequim stays dry and sunny throughout the year. And this ideal weather creates mild temperatures and an annual rainfall of only 17 inches. While we do get the occasional snow flurry, winter days stay in the 40’s. So Sequim locals can play outside all year. Not to mention the lively, walkable downtown when they want to spend an evening at a great restaurant or shopping. All this in a beautiful setting surrounded by snow capped mountains, old growth forests and a shimmering coastline. Sequim really has everything that makes a great location and community.

First Friday Art Walk in Sequim

When most people think of Sequim, they think of a quiet, quaint small town nestled at the foot of the Olympic Mountains. Sequim is a town known predominately for two things: It’s remarkably mild and sunny weather year-round, and it’s stunning lavender fields. Those are certainly two great things to know about Sequim, but there’s so much more to this charming community.

In fact, it’s pretty hard for us to find things we don’t like about Sequim. One of our favorite times of the month are the First Friday art walks. Given that an art walk is coming up this week, we think it’s a great time to highlight the Sequim Art Walks. Hopefully you can join us for one soon. Continue Reading
