It's election season. Vote for the candidate that's tough on criminals. The alternative is the candidate that thinks the criminals are owed your stuff.

It is too stressful that everything has to be right. Buying a home is stressful, no matter new or old, there will be a lot things different from your old house and you are not comfortable. To renovate or remodel after live-in is difficult.

I was never a pro-live-in house investment. Yes, we made our house spacious, comfortable, beautiful, up-to-date and efficient, enjoyable, all above. But whatever extra $$$K you tie up on your house is not generating income for you. The real-estate appreciation is in general behind other investments besides you can't sell where you live in. Your heir might benefit because they get a step-up cost basis, wise or not.

😂how did you know I’m in California? I’ve wanted to move to Sequim for years. ❤

There seems to be no crime at all in Port Townsend...is that true?

Hi , I'm sunny. I hope you are doing well. I watched your YT channel video. Your content is beneficial. Regards❤🎉

But Chuck, you will have to deal with the ravening hordes from Port Ludlow. Here on the Maine coast we have a well and septic system too. We rely on our solar array, batteries and inverter to provide lights and water when the power goes out. The solar/battery system keeps out fridge and freezer running indefinitely. As far as communications go, I am an extra class amateur radio operator. We don't have significant crime here, although as of July 1 this year we do have police for the first time ever via a contract with a nearby town. Our crime rate is much lower than a hot bed of crime like Sequim. Our major crime problem is traffic violations from all the tourists. They won't be here if there is a major disruption. Yes our climate is a bit more extreme than the Sequim area. You can have a garden here and there is an active fishery, although you can get tired of eating lobster and scallops. Personally I have zero use for a financial advisor. If the cell network goes down it will not impact me at all because we have zero cell coverage in my town and although I have a cell phone, I can't remember the last time I turned it on. I solved the problem of communicating with children and family by not having children and outliving my family. If things get really bad here, I can just head out on my sailing yacht. It is adequately equipped to stay aboard for quite a while although winter might be a bit trying.

Great video as always!

Is there any useful flood zone data from FEMA? A quick search seems to show the maps date to 1989.

Pristine beaches?? Lol..my favorite thing would be too get opportunities to see Orcas

It's terrible here stay in California

The crime is out of control

Thanx you've put my mind at ease.i was actually worrying about someone stealing my titlle deed.

As of today, June11-24 you can get a small empty lot with electric and water is 250k. And electricity is thru the roof here and was NEVER cheap here. Its about 3 times higher than Puyallup, where I moved from 30 years go. Crime is low, but I would never move here with kids. Its essentially a border town, so lots and lots of drugs, even 30 years ago.

I moved to Sequim 30 years ago because housing was cheaper, and it put me close to mtns and water for camping and fishing. Now the pendelum has swung in the other direction. A small lot with electric and water and nothing else runs 250k. If it keeps going up, I will be moving again soon. But lets face facts, if you have any serious medical problems, you would be better off to cross it off your list. The local hospital is poorly run, and patients suffer because of it. You would be better off closer to good health care like Silverdale or Bremerton. Even, Port Townsend, than going to the hospital in P.A. We did get a great Dr in town, but she left after she fell off of her horse and this hospital nearly killed her.

I used to live near there. I'm visiting this year and can't wait. Hopefully one day I'll live there again

Quit talking bad about sequim it's a beautiful 👎 thumbs down to this video

Sequim is nice for older people. Its not a great place for teens to grow up as theres not much to do... except get in trouble. Best thing i ever did was get out of Sequim! But that was 25 years ago. Now that im older i probably would consider moving back after my kids were all 18 and off to college.

Looking for a waterfront property that I can build a boat dock on it. I do not want to moorage my boat at a local marina. $500K is my price range.

Hey Chuck in another video you said sequiem only gets 1/3 the rain as Seattle. But how ab sunshine? Do you guys get any sunshine during the winter months?

Prefer Port Townsend to Sequim. Sequim has a big box store feel by comparison.

You will hate Sequim unless you know the homestead world, status concept, international and very much understand the US tribal homestead concept between. We love it knowing it our entire lives.

Hi Chuck. Just watched this video and am trying to follow instructions. This process does not seem to work well for lots & land. Any insight?

Very useful information!

I lived there for a year. Most of the people are two faced backstabbers. I got a job their, and management treats you like they own you. Pay sucks, few jobs, and cost of living is high. The women there are neurotic psychos. The men there are simps and wimps. The place sucks hard core. If you love nature and hate people- it's a great place to visit, but never live there, unless you are a rich elitist liberal snob.

Please stay in California!! Don't come to Washington. Sharks and Sasquash live here! Very baaad. Stay Away!!!!! We also have stinging nettles and poison oak and stinging wasps. There is a huge volcanoe, we get floods and title waves. Very windy all the time between rain, snow and sleet. Don't come here. Ever.

How’s the hospital system? I have a complex chronic illness and have only lived in large metro areas with excellent top 10 hospitals. I’m interested in Sequim for exactly that reason, as it’s so pristine, but people are warning me to look deeply into the hospital.

Life's awesome sauce 😊

I stand with you sir

This guy was one of the most useless realtor I have ever tried to deal with.

The "hole" is known as "circle" here The blue circle and in some spiritualities of locals it is a sacred thing.

"illegal alien invasions" is a bigoted and offputting term.

I read on a city data forum that Sequim has a homeless problem and a new methadone clinic that's increasing that and druggie problems. Homeless parked along roads living in vehicles, campers, etc. I haven't been there for 10 yrs. Please say it's exaggerated.

It’s a beautiful nature ,place for retirement, unfortunately we can’t do that since our children live around the North East of America

I love that store. You definitely know what's in season. Each trip is a little discovery of what's being grown. Not like the identical produce in a box store.

Hi Chuck! Nice to see you on CZcams again. I have enjoyed many of your videos about beautiful Sequim and hope to be able to visit one day. Whenever it’s 100 degrees here in Houston Texas, I often check the weather in Sequim and think “Ahhh if only…” Thanks for sharing your lovely town with us.

It would not be Sequim. It is the strip mall of the future. It is being Californicated.

I don't remember when this place got shut down but the guy in the blue and white checkers shirt used to be my stepfather. He passed away Aug, 22, 2012 of a heart attack his name was willie father of 3 and stepfather of one. this place was his home and my home away from home. most people that know him saw a kind and respectful man. but what most of you don't know is what he was like when he wasn't around his friends. Long story Short he was an asshole to me and my mother and would never let us do anything he all ways took my moms money and never let me have any friends and Always yelled at me. But when his young Blood daughter moved in with us he always treated her like a princess and me like the devil. But even though he treated me like this I always hide it and love him like the father I never had. I do miss him from this day I do still talk to his two daughters here and there his son I haven't seen sent's his dad passed. He's pretty much fallen off the face of the earth. Anyway this place meant so much to me and to so many others we need a track back in Port Angeles Washington.

In other words, if want the big city life, don't move here.

There are NO reasons to not move here!! IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!! And shopping malls are the #1 reason why so many downtown businesses closed in every American town.

I was just there. My buddy and his wife moved there 5years ago. they loved it.

Beautiful!💕🍎

how is the inventory of rental property and how much

Can someone tell me the name of the song and band singing the song for #7 Beaches? It’s 1950’s style: “You’re my sunset, when I’m with you, mysterious brunette, come see the view, this beautiful sunset …”. Love the sound of it.

I bought a nice house ina. Nice neighborhood in Okanogan for 181,000 in 2014 and sold it for 355,000 in 2022. He’s talking about huge price reductions in Sequim resulting in houses being only 520k instead of 580K? Give me a break.

Those prices still look extremely expensive.

L takes

Yeah, I agree! That place totally sucks! Who would want to move there and call it home? 😜 Truth is and you said it... Ain't the cheapest place to live but I gots me a great outdoor tent!

Video should be called 10 reasons I would move to sequim
