Sunny Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula

View over Sun Meadows with Mt. BakerHow better can the weather get in sunny Sequim?!

It's the beginning of March. Today, the sun has been shining since the early morning, temperatures are at 60 degrees F (that's about 15 Celsius Centigrade!) in the shade, and everybody is outside, either doing caring for the early spring flowers (we have the first daffodils blooming, I see crocus at other places) or doing a nice neighborhood walk through Sun Meadows or do a jog like myself.

We are very happy about this nice dry spring weather. First, we were both sceptical about building a house over 'winter' but just as last year, when we moved to Sequim, the months January and February were quite dry. Perfect for our new Sequim house construction. To be honest, we have long given up paying to the weather forecasts from our local TV stations Komo4News from Seattle, as the forecast in 95% does not apply to Sequim. Just recently, Seattle got hit by an ice storm leaving lots of crashed commuter cars, behind. Sequim did not even have any rain. Yes, Sequim is in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and has the famous blue hole. We are more than happy to retire in Sequim!

Stay tuned on Sequim life from two retirees. Greetings from the Sequimers
