It's about time catching up with Sequim news we noticed when we received an email from a dedicated reader of our Sequim Town blog wondering where we were and whether we really stopped writing our Sequim blog.
No, we definitely did not. We only took a break from the cold, rainy November weather in Sequim heading south to Mexico enjoying sun, ocean and great food at an all-inclusive hotel, and the best month to do that is November.We repeatedly told our Sequim blog readers that we are not Sequim realtors trying to 'sell' you sunny Sequim. Our Sequim blog is a journal of our life in Sequim. Nothing more or less. Actually, we cannot believe that in January it will be already 4 years since our moving from Hawaii to Sequim in 2006.
We've learned many things during those four years in Sequim. Just read a few of our past Sequim blogs and you will see. Here is one thing we'd to share with all the newcomers to town: Plan your vacation for November! If you can afford it, choose between Hawaii or Mexico. Of course, Mexico is the much cheaper vacation, however Hawaii has the nicer beaches and clearer ocean waters. In any case, just try to head south during November. It's when the first winter storms and first snow hits the PNW. Sequim is no exception!
This year though, Sequim temperatures in November were somewhat unusual, way lower than average. It seemed like an arctic breeze embraced us when arriving in Seattle. Nice to see the sun out driving into Sequim. Well, the ponds at Carrie Blake Park were solidly frozen, so our favorite ducks were doing some slipping and sliding. Looked pretty funny!
Now, December temperatures are back to normal. Today we had day time temperatures around 44F. No more frozen ponds. The holidays season in a small town community like Sequim is always special. The main streets are decorated with Christmas wreaths and lots of lights. Naturally, Sequim home owners decorate their homes as well. So it's fun to walk the streets at night to admire all the wonderful Christmas decorations. Sequim offers lots of festive events, theater plays, music, Christmas carols and bazaars, organized by the city of Sequim and by the many churches in town and people. Sequim and area is a closely knit community where people love to socialize and volunteer to help others.
If you have any more questions about sunny Sequim and its friendly people, email us or post a comment on one of our Sequim town blog posts. Best thing to do before moving to Sequim permanently, visit Sequim for a vacation. Our fully equipped Sequim vacation rental allows you to explore life in Sequim for a longer time.
Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our Sequim visitors and friends from Heidi & Keoki
