Hurricane Ridge is a 35-mile drive from Sequim, Washington, which is where we have decided to make our home. At an elevation of 5,242 feet, this year-round destination offers spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan De Fuca. The visitors center has an information desk, gift-shop, restrooms, a snack bar, and a deck with commanding mountain views. There are several picnic areas, paved walking trails and more challenging dirt hiking trails, and a winter ski and snowboard area. We will certainly be returning to Hurricane Ridge during all seasons in the future!

After exploring four regions in the Pacific Northwest looking for a permanent place to live during our early retirement - Anacortes, Mt. Vernon, Coupeville and Sequim - we settled on Sequim. The amazing beauty of this friendly, clean town situated on the Olympic Peninsula nestled between the majestic Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan De Fuca has everything that we could possibly wish for. Before our Sunday drive to Hurricane Ridge, we had already visited the nearby beaches of Cline Spit, Dungeness Spit and John Wayne Marina, tented in Sequim Bay State Park, and drove through the city and suburban communities, pastures and lavender farms viewing houses and lots for sale. The town of Sequim is integrated with the farmlands, transitioning from city, suburbia into active farmlands as you travel the mostly straight and flat two-lane paved country roads. We absolutely love it here!
