Located on the north end of Washington’s scenic Olympic Peninsula, the small city of Sequim (pronounced “Squim”) is widely regarded as one of the state’s best-kept secrets. While the nearby Olympic National Park is home to a rain forest, the mountains effectively block most of the rainclouds that define the region’s image, allowing Sequim to enjoy a mostly dry climate as well as the stunning views of the surrounding landscape—this unique weather characteristic has earned the community the nickname “Sunny Sequim.” Washington Street anchors a thriving business district in what is otherwise a tranquil residential community, with the local rental market mainly consisting of single-family homes.
