1. Habitat shifts focus to Sequim Avenue project (sequimgazette.com) — Habitat for Humanity is prioritizing its 48-home development on Sequim Avenue, which the city of Sequim has already deemed permit-ready, while pausing the similarly sized Lyon’s Landing project in Carlsborg. The nonprofit says concentrating fundraising and construction here first should speed new townhomes, duplexes, and fourplexes for Sequim families, even as it returns unused county funding tied to the delayed Carlsborg site.
   

2. GIRLS SOCCER: Port Angeles fends off Sequim to remain in first (peninsuladailynews.com) — Sequim High’s girls soccer team pushed league-leading Port Angeles before falling 3–1, briefly tying the match on a goal by Nathalie Gomez and showing they can challenge top Olympic League opponents. The night also brought concern as Sequim’s Kaela Keate suffered a serious knee injury in a collision, while the Wolves now prepare for an away match at Bremerton on Tuesday.
   

3. Sequim's Patterson to retire as fire chief of Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue (sequimgazette.com) — Sequim resident and longtime firefighter Jake Patterson plans to retire as chief of Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue on Feb. 28, 2027, after a 33-year career that began in Sequim.

4. Port Hadlock Man Gets 14 Years for Sequim Bank Robbery (myclallamcounty.com) — A Port Hadlock man has been sentenced to more than 14 years in prison for robbing the Kitsap Bank branch in Sequim last year, a case built on surveillance footage and public tips. No one was hurt in the pepper-spray-assisted robbery, but the judge also ordered community custody after release, underscoring how seriously Sequim-area financial crimes are treated.
   

5. Health program addresses perception (peninsuladailynews.com) — Sequim plays a role in Clallam County’s push to reduce overdose deaths, with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe offering medication-assisted treatment there alongside services in Clallam Bay. A detailed look at the county’s Harm Reduction Health Center explains how syringe services, Narcan distribution, wound care, and basic supplies for unhoused residents fit into a broader strategy that coincides with a sharp drop in overdose fatalities.
