Hi all! I'm considering getting an apartment in the Sequim or Port Townsend area and am curious if anyone has experience with the job market here. I've got a summer position lined up in Olympic NP already, but it ends in September and I'll need something else to carry me through to the start of my PCT thru-hike/end of my lease in May. There seem to be a lot of openings for retail/hospitality/farm work at the moment, but I'm concerned this is just a temporary summer boost and there will be less opportunities in the fall-spring. Does anyone have insight into this situation, or know of places that might be looking to hire on that schedule? Thanks!

Hello! Im hoping for some insight on summer weather in Sequim :) I’m seeking a long term rental in Sequim and believe I’ve found a great option. The only downside is there is no AC. I do work from home, so I spend a significant amount of time in my house. I’m coming from the Midwest where summers can be very hot, and you are running your AC every day to try to not melt. I’m not familiar with Sequims summers. From my research they sound pretty mild! Has that been most people’s experience?

I have a 90's era fiberglass insert bathtub (think coffin-size) with shower head. I want to replace it with a step-in shower, no door. I don't want tile or other pricey stuff & I'm not remodeling my bathroom, I'm looking for simple & basic. I've watched YT videos on how to install a HD-type shower unit but it's kind of beyond my basic skill level. Can anyone recommend a local person who did this for them?

Hello everyone, we are having our monthly friendship meet at Blackbird coffeehouse located at 336 E 8th St, Port Angeles, WA from 1pm-3pm.

Because of the protest- I will not be there and it might be lighter than usual.

We love meeting new people, and we hope you can join us!

If you have any questions, ask away!

Planned meet up at 6pm this Friday (tomorrow) at Oasis. Come have some drinks and I'll bring a straightforward board game or card game if people are interested. If you work in tech remotely, locally, or similar interests come down and join us. Probably be at a table near the back wall like last time. Look for the table that has a board game sitting on the edge. Or... "those people look like Reddit tech people."

Some people expressed interest in wanting to make it last week but couldn't. So hopefully you can make it this week.

Meetup inspired by original post.

My mom lives in Sequim(I live in Utah), and I am trying to find a plan to provide her with better cell service. AT&T has been an absolute joke where they're at. Apparently, 100 kbps is "working as intended".

I am looking for a business that can clean out a house (in Sequim) and sell the contents. Ideally, I would like to get someone who can remove the contents of the house and sell them online. I am open to suggestions. Thanks

Hello everyone! I am looking for a custom cabinet maker. Not a kitchen-type cabinet, but more of an artistic bookcase. Do you know anyone? Thank you!

Here is a link to the state wide planned protests. The closest one is Port Angeles.

Thanks to everyone who showed up tonight!

Your friendly grizzled tech vet

Based on the comments in the other post https://www.reddit.com/r/sequim/comments/1ja9vn9/remote_tech_workers/

I've got somewhat of what I'd like to call a little poultry farm (over 50 birds chickens, ducks and geese) but I cannot for the life of me find a vet for them in a reasonable distance, I've called every vet on this peninsula and the closest (poultry/bird) vet I can find is in the Seattle area. Wild considering how many feed/livestock stores we have. I'm assuming there's gotta be a farm vet on the low-key? Anyone know anything? (I don't have a bird in drastic need but it would be nice to know there's someone I could rely on if needed) TIA.

Saw around 50 tonight towards Port Williams

Hey folks,

Like the title says my new studio will be open for business on April 2nd.

To kick things off I’ll be doing a flash sale on roses 🌹for the month of April.

You can add a new rose to your collection for $60 each! And yes you can get multiple roses during your session!

Spring is the perfect time to get a new tattoo so it’s fully healed and ready for the sun and summer fun.

You can find me right across from the post office at:

201 S Sunnyside Ave, Suite 203

Walk in are welcome or make a reservation

Portfolio available on Facebook at:

https://www.facebook.com/bhavenink

Look forward to working with you and supporting the community!

PS: I’ll be doing a flash special each month, stay tuned and follow along for updates and specials!

Sometimes the small things can be the most special moments, and this squirrel encounter was one of those instances for me.

I came across this little guy on the primitive trail scurrying through the area for Douglas Fir cones to eat, and I ended up watching them for close to 10 minutes. When they looked into my camera lens after finishing their snack, my heart was melted!

I'm super impressed by how fast this one was tearing the cones apart - I came across another that was probably only half as quick as best.

I want to build a water feature on my patio for the wildlife. Wondering where I could buy or legally harvest some local native pond plants?

Are there any meetups or informal gatherings for folks like us? I know it’s a town mostly filled with retirees—it would be nice to have an outlet that’s not The Oasis.

Hey folks,

Much like the title says I'm opening up a tattoo studio in Sequim! My studio is named B'Haven Ink, and you can view my portfolio on Facebook or Instagram (link included below).

Studio is located at:

201 S Sunnyside Ave, Suite 203

I'll be doing a soft open later this month and a grand opening month. I'll be doing a sale on flash pieces as well, so make sure to get your reservation in (space tends to fill up quick).

I'm looking forward to working with folks in the community, and can't wait to meet you!

Little about me;

I'm a soft educated Tattooist who has been growing and learning tattooing for the last 4 years. I tend to focus on flash pieces, and love giving my clients great work for a fair price.

I've always loved art, and have been honing my skills for quite some time. I love doing floral, animated/cartoon characters add lots of other things.

Running my own tattoo studio has been a goal of mine since childhood, and I'm excited to finally start this journey.

Hi! I'm looking independent/sole operator nail techs in Sequim or PA. I'm specifically looking for a nail tech that understands the value in dry manicures vs soaking hands in water before cuticle care and nail shaping. I've found someone who has her own booth in Kaboom Hair Salon but she's sooo busy it's hard to get in. Thanks!

Is there anything to do here weeknights that isnt hang at Oasis?

I'm not talking about the construction zones where the limit is lower. I am talking in general - like through the bypass area. I drove to PA yesterday morning, we were creeping along at 47 in a 55 zone. I was 7th in a line of ~15 vehicles. I have lived in 5 states, WA drivers are consistently the worst.

I am looking to move to Sequim and I noticed that this building that looks like a former Veterinary Clinic is for sale. 2972 Old Olympic Hwy, Port Angeles, WA 98362 It's listed as a Port Angeles address but on the map it looks to be in between Sequim and Port Angeles.

Did they close down? and does anyone know the story about why? I'm curious. Looks like it might be a good spot to open up a new clinic or doggie daycare or pet grooming business. Just a thought. I'll be moving to Sequim soon and was trying to think of ways I could help the community and provide a service that is needed. I've seen posts about needing laborers like plumbers, electricians, social and mental health workers, but I don't have any of those skills. But I could open a business. Just need to know what Sequim needs. Let me know. I need ideas! Thanks future neighbors.
