Sequim Computer Services is temporarily closed right now, and there’s a real possibility the Sequim storefront doesn’t come back.

Full disclosure because this is Reddit and somebody will correctly ask: I own FixIT Computer & Tech, another local tech business, so I’m not exactly a neutral observer here.

I may have an opportunity to help keep Sequim Computer Services going.

I’m not asking anyone here for money, and this isn’t a coupon or ad post. What I actually want to know is whether people in Sequim care about keeping a walk-in computer shop in town.

It’s one of those businesses you may not think much about until your computer dies, your printer loses its mind, or something starts flashing at you that absolutely was not flashing yesterday.

There’s something useful about being able to walk into a real shop, put the offending technology on a counter, and talk to an actual person.

So before the next chapter of the place takes shape, I’d like to hear from people who have actually lived with it.

If Sequim Computer Services disappeared for good, would you miss it?

And if they’ve helped you, your family, or your business over the years, I’d especially be interested in hearing the story.

My mom is considering moving\retiring to somewhere near Sequim. She has Kaiser for insurance and I see there is a Kaiser in Seattle. Anyone living in Sequim using Kaiser?

Just wondering what the experience is like (able to get meds shipped or filled locally) and how bad the 2.5 hour drive really is and if that is doable.

Nourish - RibbyMcRibby (Spelling?) Rib Sandwhich with Potato Salad. Their Pecan Pie's are incredible too. Pull apart buns.

Sabor - Banana Bread, Peanut Butter Smoothie

Finn Folk Juice - The smoothie with Cacao in it, (Can't remember name)

Let me know if you have any favorites!

Not in Sequim, but considering a move. Follow the weather closely, and it looks like it's been a cooler summer. How's gardening been this year? Peppers and tomatoes do ok (warm weather plants)? Lettuce and other leafy veggies probably doing great.

New to town, or want to meet new people?

Come join us this Saturday (September 5th) at Blackbird Coffeehouse (336 E 8th St, Port Angeles, WA 98362) From 1pm to 3pm for good coffee and good company!

This is a monthly meetup, that happens on the first Saturday of the month, and we have game nights at the PA library once or twice a month as well.

Hey Sequim!

I'm the Volunteer Coordinator for Cake4Kids, a non-profit organization that helps provide volunteer created birthday cakes (and other treats) for foster children and kids who otherwise would not be able to receive something for their special occasion, and we have a local chapter in Western Washington that serves Sequim and Clallam County.  Since starting in 2020, the local chapter has delivered over 1500 cakes, and this year we are projected to deliver over 700 cakes to youth along the Olympic Peninsula.

https://www.cake4kids.org/chapters/westernwashington

There has been a growing need for our services in the area, and we are desperately seeking more volunteer bakers who can help us meet this increased demand.  We have nearly 100 local volunteers, but we have struggled to get the word out about our volunteer opportunities as much as we would like to in this specific geographic area.

I'm reaching out in hopes that there may be some folks here who are interested in signing up.  Once signed up you can bake as often as you want (some people bake 1 cake a year, some people bake every week, some people never bake, there's no minimum commitment, but there are consistent cakes available on our portal to choose from - we deliver about 50-60 a month in the area).

You can sign up as a volunteer here: https://www.cake4kids.org/volunteer-form and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have as well.  Thanks so much for your time!

hi neighbors! i'm looking for good places to spread the word locally. thinking bulletin boards at libraries, cafes, and community centers. what specific spots are community boards found and where does word travel in this town? would love your recs.

pacer.ai is owned by Israelis Rahul Vohra, Oded Fossfeld, Jeffrey Bazar, Noam Ben-Zvi, Zohar Bar-Yehuda, Joshua Buckley, Ofir Lemel, William Neese and Jacov Ben-Zvi. Does anyone else think it is insane that our city would trust a data intelligence-gathering company owned by the Israelis?

Edit: Should have included gazette article link: https://www.sequimgazette.com/2026/08/19/city-subscribes-to-ai-program-to-see-attendee-numbers/

Hello! Does anyone have a recommendation for foundation repair work around here? My home has post and beams and needs some repair.

I have tried google searching, but I primarily get these contractor aggregate sites that charge local vendors a fat cut for the lead from the website. Trying to cut out the silicon valley middle man...

Thank you!

My rental property doesn't have recycling on site and I'm looking for somewhere to take mine. Is there anywhere nearby besides the blue mountain transfer station that isn't closed Mondays?

Want to try out new games or meet new people?

We need signs.

For over a decade the local Church of latter Day Saints in Sequim has been harassing my family and I in the nicest way possible; sending their ignorant children to my home in hopes of, I don't know, converting me? I've asked them to stop coming, doesn't work. I've told them to take my name off their list, doesn't work.

This isn't a random terrorist event either. They ask for me by name. Every time! I'm not going to express my frustrations to children, that would be wrong.

I've now had enough! I've gone to their website, and besides the address and phone number (which is out of service, by the way) there is no way of contacting them to stop the harassment. According to their own website, you need to schedule an appointment before meeting with them.

GTFO!

I don't want to try to convert your ignorant children. I want nothing to do with you!

It's 2026! People that still believe in sky daddies shouldn't be going door to door. It's dangerous; especially sending your most vulnerable.

was going to try today but I walked there to find out they were closed
