A major reconfiguration of Sequim elementary schools, a teen singing sensation heard ‘round the World (Series), the loss of Hurricane Ridge’s day lodge to fire, Clallam County’s first Poet Laureate, the story of local sports icon Joe Rantz finally hits the big screen, and the shocking loss of firefighter/coach Charles (“Chad”) Cate were some of the news stories that made headlines in 2023.
