Links below are to trips we made to the Olympic Peninsula, and other milestones of our move.

September, 1995 We flew to Seattle, rented a car, and spent 10 days exploring the Puget Sound.

June, 1999 We drove our van up Interstate 5 to Southern Washington. Then turned west to Highway 101 on the Washington Coast, and looped up over the Olympic Peninsula and into Sequim.

July to December, 1999, there were FOUR more trips. We've learned a lot about Building Codes, Environmental Planning, Botany, and Biology.

April 27, 2000 Don and Gert move to Sequim

September, 2000 Choosing a home. Planning where to put it.

September 16, 2000 One day Round Trip from LA to our home in construction

November 4, 2000 Our home arrives on the lot.

November 17, 2000 The last trip before Bob & Holli move.

Up to January 10, 2001 We packed and packed. The movers arrived on the 10th

January 11, 2001 We drove to Port Angeles in one day. Non-Stop. With 3 cats and a trailer. Then waited for the movers.

The truth can now come out. The land we finally bought is situated between Sequim and Port Angeles. It's a bit closer to Port Angeles, so we actually have a Port Angeles address. But that's okay, because both towns are great. The whole North Coast of the Peninsula is great. I'm leaving all the references to "Sequim" on this website, because it really doesn't matter whether it's Sequim or Port Angeles. And I'm too lazy to change it all to read "Port Angeles".

What's this all ABOUT? Before we met, Holli & I had been dreaming for years about getting out of California. After we met, we kept on thinking about moving, but now we would move TOGETHER. Where would we go, though? Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Washington, Oregon? After the 1994 Sylmar earthquake, we got serious about moving. More research led us to the Olympic Peninsula and a town called Sequim.

"So, Where the Hell is Sequim?", you ask... It's in the far Northwest of Washington State on the Olympic Peninsula. Here's a HUGE report on the State of Washington, focusing on the Olympic Peninsula Here's a ROAD MAP to Sequim. Or, if you like topographical maps, click HERE. And here is a RELIEF MAP. And an ANNUAL RAINFALL MAP. How about a SATTELITE image? And the CURRENT WEATHER in Sequim Here's a link to all the towns/cities of the PENINSULA.
