Sequim has been my home for 30 years and now I can't wait to move out. It is totally overrun by people who want to retire to a "rural area". Sorry folks, Sequim quit having any rural feel more than 20 years ago...you have no clue. I remember ONE traffic light in town - now there are eight lights, a bypass, and two traffic circles. There used to be only two good places to eat out, and now Sequim is full of fast food joints. Tracts of land have been logged for housing and stores, farmland has been broken up for housing tracts. People keep moving in and, within the first year, start griping about how the rural atmosphere is being ruined by growth. Ha ha ha..........you get what you ask for. If you want to live in a big city with no services or amenities, move to Sequim or the surrounding area.

I really enjoy going to Sequim, Wa. It reminds me of the small town of South Pasadena, Ca. before all the land developments. Small town, lots of shopping and eateries, the lavender capital of America, so they say... and a wonderful lavender and rasberry farm.. Graysmarsh Farm. The owners are wonderful warm people, let us have a picnic right on their fields, and the picking of raspberries and strawberries is perfect for dessert. Very romantic but also a good family outing. Only thing is the Sequim traffic signs... very confusing, arrows all over,,, definitely need to stop and ask the locals... but the people are friendly, and always willing to help. Stop by and tell them Mari sent you ;)
