Willow Creek Premier Properties is ideally located in Sequim, Washington. Sequim (skwim) is beautifully situated on the Olympic Peninsula at the north end of the high and grand Olympic Mountains and on the coast of the Straight of Juan De Fuca. You can see Canada from here!
On a gentle prairie that is The Dungeness River Valley, Sequim is in the ‘Rain Shadow’ of the Olympic Mountains and receives approximately 16 inches of rain per year, about the same as Los Angeles, California.
On the other side of these mountains, the western, Pacific Ocean side, is the famous Olympic Rain Forest, and the Quinault, Queets, Hoh, and Bogachiel valleys. Precipitation in Olympic’s rain forest ranges from 140 to 167 inches (12 to 14 feet) every year!
Sequim has gloriously escaped this drenching rain fall and is famously known as the “Sunshine Capital” of Western Washington, in “The Banana Belt!”
Sequim has been thought to mean “quiet waters” but recently a tribal linguist has determined the translation used for the past century for the town of Sequim, is wrong and the meaning actually is “place for going to shoot,” a reference to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley’s once-great elk and waterfowl hunting.
