We just made it back from our vacation in Hawaii to celebrate Keoki's 70th birthday with family and friends there. In addition to the birthday, our vacation in Hawaii was wonderful. It was an interesting feeling though to be a visitor in Hawaii watching life go by much slower and pay close attention to the weather, not any different to visitors who come to Sequim on vacation.
Coming back home to WA, Seattle had a big surprise for us. We thought it was an April Fool's Day joke. It was snowing big time! Driving out of Seattle with heavy traffic was challenging and took all our attention. After Leaving Tacoma behind, snow turned into rain and rain eased into a drizzle. Time to relax again. The rest of our way to Sequim was fine. Sequim welcomed us with a gray, overcast sky, but no rain. Next day though, Sequim showed itself from its best side with the sun breaking through the clouds occasionally - our beloved blue hole! So, we told everybody that we brought the sun from Hawaii to Sequim.
Ever since our return to little Sequim town last week, we have enjoyed wonderful Sequim Spring weather this April. Daffodils and primroses are blooming, birds are singing everywhere, trees and bushes have lots of buds ready for Sequim spring. Most impressive are the cherry blossom trees everywhere. Sequim is not only the capital of lavender but of Cherry Blossom trees. We should really have a Cherry Blossom Festival in addition to the Irrigation Festival in May and the Lavender Festival in July! I am still going on a photo hunt for Cherry Blossom trees in Sequim.

Greetings, Was reading your web site - we currently live in Naples, FL - moved here about 1.5 years ago from Atlanta.
Naples is beautiful but becomes very monochromatic after a while. Going to move and pondering WA. Our Son works for the Makau tribe and loves WA. Thinks we'd like Sequim or Port Townsend areas but I have some reservations about the gray winters.
If you check out my web site you'll note that we like to hike.
WA state would be excellent for my photography interest (I'm 62 and retired - do some recruiting in better economic times). Also looking at Santa Rosa, CA with it's excellent weather, proximity to San Fran. and many photo sites within a days drive (we have a RoadTrek Agile SS camper).
Would like to hear more about what you and your wife like as well as dislike about Sequim. Why you chose it over Port Townsend? Do you feel isolated there as compared to a town closer to Seattle - say Bellingham, Olympic, etc.?
Your input would be appreciated,
Jack
