Review of Sequim, Washington


Less than 1% Job Growth & It Shows in Sequim
Star Rating - 9/2/2018
Read the stats on this website: public administrators in Sequim make $70k a year which is $14k more than the average in Washington State, while the average earnings a person takes home in Sequim is $25k, which is less than the national average and far, far below the pay of the Sequim city manager who makes $90-100k a year for making sure Sequim progresses with job growth at a rate of less than 1% a year; the unemployment rate in Sequim is higher than the national average, and many people working are only doing it for the health insurance because they're close to retiring; job growth has been less than 1% for the past year, and it shows in Sequim. The Clallam County economic council even had a report that showed this area is basically doomed due to the regulations that are taxing away the life that's out here. Yeah, Sequim's great, if you're retired, from California, or a millionaire on Bell Hill.
