Sequim Washington is a retirement and agricultural community in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The community sits in Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula — extremely isolated with US Highway 101 as the primary access route. Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami risk is significant for all Strait of Juan de Fuca communities. A major earthquake could damage the limited highway access and isolate the peninsula for extended periods.
