Quiet, Peaceful and Uncrowded

The SunLand community has over 700 residences; the city of Sequim has a population of over 4,400, and there are more than 20,000 people living in the Sequim-Dungeness valley community. The crime rate is very low compared to other areas of the country.

Traffic is sparse most time, although summer months bring tourists seeking to enjoy the beauty and recreation on the Olympic Peninsula. A new Sequim bypass highway opened in 1999, and has resulted in a dramatic reduction in summer traffic through the downtown area. 

SunLand - Away from it all yet convenient to much

SunLand Golf and Country Club is just 2 miles outside of Sequim, convenient to stores, supermarkets, restaurants and churches. Excellent medical care is found in Sequim and at the hospital in nearby Port Angeles, just 20 minutes away.

There is a year around schedule of area cultural events - symphony, theater and musical productions.

Seattle, (via a 25 minute picturesque ferry boat ride across Puget Sound) and Tacoma are just over 2 hours away, for shopping, cultural events, and college and professional sports. Beautiful Victoria, British Columbia is just a short ferry boat trip across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Angeles.
