Sequim, WA (pronounced "squim") is famous throughout the Pacific Northwest for its low rainfall and sunny skies. Known as "Sunny Sequim" or "the Blue Hole", Sequim lies in the rainshadow of the Olympic Mountains, and boasts an average annual rainfall of less than 17 inches.

History states that the Sequim Washington was originally developed as an agricultural community. It is said that this community provided for much of the agricultural needs necessary to feed the early growth of Western Washington communities such as Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. In fact, many historians have recorded that without the Dairy products which came from the Sequim Valley, many Western Washington communities could not have developed and grown in the boom town fashion they did.

The Sequim area, or Dungeness Valley as the area is often now referred to, is today still breathtaking with its green rolling fields, and blue skies framing the crisp, white peaks of the Olympic Mountains in the distance. In more recent years Sequim's consistently sunny weather, unusual for Western Washington, has drawn many new residents from across the United States that want to enjoy the benefits of a more temperate climate, less crowded landscape, and a welcoming community. The Sequim area has fast become an attractive retirement community, with the average age of Sequim rising to the near 60’s during the past 20 years.
