 The Sequim and Port Angeles housing market has not suffered like the national market or many localities around the country, but the recession and the depressed state of the national real estate market have certainly taken a toll on Clallam County.  Lot sales are so rare, you could almost say lots are not selling [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;ve got to feel a little bad for the long established industry of print newspapers.  Newspapers are dramatically losing readers all over the U.S. and dozens of newspapers have gone bankrupt, closed their doors, or are up for sale at garage sale prices.  But the problem is compounded by the devastating loss of advertisers.  Advertisers [...]]]></description>
