I can't decide. Both have nice temperatures, but Sequim is drier than I'd prefer and Forks is wetter. I think I'd reluctantly choose Sequim, just because 100 inches of rain a year would probably be really inconvenient.
Sequim by a thousand country miles. Forks has a vile climate (nice scenary though).
Both places are actually very similar to New Zealand South Island climates. Sequim is similar to the East Coast while Forks is a close fascimile of our West Coast climates.

Forks has about the same average rainfall as Hokitika, but the latter would be much sunnier, with fewer rain days. Hokitika is also about 2.5C warmer.

Hmm... nearby Quillayute apparently has about 1400 hours compared to Hokitika's 1900, so you may be right. But this seems strange considering Forks' summer dry versus Hokitika's even rainfall, especially given the former's higher latitude (and hence higher summer daylight).
As for raindays, I don't know... Wikipedia gives 171 days with > 1mm of rain for Hokitika while Forks has 211 days with "measurable precipitation" (> 0.1 mm?).

Where'd you get the sunshine hours for Quillayute? I have trouble getting sunshine for US cities.

Forks gets alot of cloud cover in the summer, even when its dry.
Ah, interesting! Where I live gets 36% of annual (1471 hours) so Quillayute becomes the only mainland US city I know to get less than us if they get 33% (assuming the same measuring standards apply in both places). That 90% for Yuma just looks unreal in comparison.
