What people are saying about Sequim | |
Consider Port Ludlow | |
Dear Dorie, My husband and I moved to Port Ludlow in May after 5+ years of seriously looking from Blaine to Portland! We narrowed it down to Sequim, Gig Harbor and PL. Sequim is 45 minutes from PL. It adds almost an hour to any trip from Seattle. GH was just too crowded. There was no way to avoid the I5 traffic to get there! PL is easily accessible using the Bainbridge Island ferry or the walk on only service out of Kingston (to Seattle) or car from Edmonds to Kingston. Our children call us when the BI ferry starts to move, we leave and pick them up exactly when the ferry arrives. Parking at BI to visit them has not been a problem. PL is not a 55+ community. Anyone can buy here. The vast majority of the residents are retired. Everyone is friendly and from all over the world. A QFC is 10 miles away and a perfectly well stocked store but I prefer to shop at Central Market in Poulsbo. UNBELIEVABLE!!! For $79/year we purchase med-flight insurance if we need to be flown to Seattle. They are finishing building a huge hospital in Silverdale which should meet all our needs. We have absolutely lovely restaurants ranging from burger joints to fine dining. Our community has a club with pool, exercise room, etc. They have bands, picnics, etc. all the time. Homes, townhomes, and condo\'s are all available with prices ranging from the mid $300,000 to several millions. I don\'t need to tell you how wonderful the summers are. We have been in their 70\'s and 50\'s at night. I am willing to trade snow shoveling for the winter rains...and anyway I can always have lunch in Sequim and bask in the sunlight for a few hours.... What else would you like to know? We are so HAPPY!! | |

Thinking of moving to Sequim | |
We are from Seattle. Moved to Idaho 12 yrs ago. It was nice for a long time but zillions of people from LA moved here. Thinking of moving back to WA. The homes up there are higher than when we left. Our home in Idaho has LOST value. We are retired. Looking at 55+ manufactured home communities. Is it a decent place to live? This will be our last house I'm sure. I want to live some place peaceful where people are friendly. It is too hot in Idaho in summer. The only way I have been able to tolerate the heat is to have an above-ground-pool. We are thinking of putting our home on the market & coming up to see if Sequim is the place for us. Would love to hear from people already there as to whether they like it. I have seen homes in Hendrickson & Heritage communities that look in our price range & are aesthetically pleasing. Hope to hear from someone, as there has been no activity on here for a long time. | |
