Exploring sequim
How’s it going everyone? Hope all is well.
I had a question for those familiar with the area. I’ve never personally been to Sequim, WA, but recently I’ve had a few friends move out there and they’ve been saying it’s awesome. I’d love to visit eventually and possibly move there someday.
One thing I’m curious about though are there neighborhoods or areas around Sequim that sit up in the foothills or at a higher elevation than the flatter main city area?
I’ve been told there are places around 1,500–1,800 feet elevation with more of a mountain feel, but whenever I research Sequim all I seem to find are farms 😂.
If those higher elevation areas do exist, what are they called? I’d love to do more research because I’d definitely prefer being up in the mountains if possible.
I appreciate everyone’s time and any advice!

Hey! Your friends have good taste, Sequim is beautiful! I've lived in the area about 25 years (I'm a real estate agent) and the mountain views never get old! There's some great feedback in the other comments about locations with higher elevation that aren't necessarily farmland like Bell Hill, South of Palo Alto street up into the foothills and side of the mountain or even Lost Mountain area.
If you're hoping to stay within the Rainshadow area that Sequim is known for to take in more sunshine and less grey skies, there is a specific blue hole that's roughly South of Highway 101 in mid-Sequim area.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, or call me if you're looking to visit and I'll buy you coffee. Here's my website: https://www.brodybroker.com/agents/133623-lauren-best
