Probably showed my ignorance and stuck my foot in it both.
"Skwim" is correct. You don't pronounce the "e."

The Olympic Penninsula is nice but there's very little going on there outside of what's left of the logging industry. For retirees who are pretty self contained and don't have much desire or need for what "town" offers, it's great. Or for the person who wants a weekend or vacation getaway place away from town.

But it's a long haul from Sequim and Port Angeles to the Olympia-Tacoma-Seattle-Everett-Mount Vernon-Anacortes-Bellngham-Vancouver "strip" on the east side of Puget Sound/Strait of Georgia.

There used to be a great restaurant near Dungeness Spit that made the journey from the Seattle area well worth the drive. But The Three Crabs is long gone and we've seen and done everything else over there so we've no more reason to go anymore.
