Why choose Sequim?

Where the Olympic Mountains, the Strait of Juan De Fuca and Puget Sound come together, there is a place where the sun shines almost 250 days a year. While areas just a dozen miles away are shrouded in clouds and fog, the community of Solana and the town of Sequim are basking in the warmth of glorious sunshine.
​
The surrounding mountains, sound and sea offer recreational opportunities galore, and the town of Sequim beckons with its
commercial centers, quaint shopping and active cultural life.
In this ideal combination of community and climate, you will find countless ways to indulge your passion for the sun.

What is the "rain shadow"?

The Olympic Mountains act as a wall that protects the Sequim and other northeastern parts of the Olympic Peninsula from the bulk of the rain, clouds and storms that moves into the Pacific Northwest. Sequim receives only about 16” of annual rainfall! In addition, the nearby Juan de Fuca has a moderating effect on the temperatures.
