Hi. I've been offered teaching positions in both Sequim and Eatonville and am now trying to make a decision... but I know very little about either town. Can anyone advise me concerning living and affording life in these towns? I'd be interested to know more about the amenities/culture of both places.
I'm moving from PA and won't have the opportunity to actually "see" the towns before having to make a decision. Thank you for any and all help.

Both are out of the way places, nice, and have a small town feel. A lot depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Neither have a LOT of cultural activities, but there are some.

Sequim is out on the Penninsula and VERY popular with vacationers (lots of weekend gridlock), and has a very nice climate. If you don't have any desire to get to Seattle frequently, it is VERY VERY nice -- LOTs of recreation options, water and land. Hiking the rainforest is great, with waterproof boots. There's more sunshine in the winter months there.

Eatonville is west of Mt. Rainier, and I think there are some lakes nearby -- but it would get much colder in the winter -- great if you like winter sports.
