I took this picture at 1:30 a.m. two years ago as I re-visted my home, Tok, Alaska. I used to hunt Dall Sheep in those mountains as a boy.

Having grown up in Alaska, and now living in Washington since 1980, I often find myself comparing the weather. My folks still live in Tok, Alaska next to the towering Alaska range mountains. Alaska is beautiful, as it is here in Sequim and Port Angeles. I’m thankful the winters are not as cold. I recall temperatures as cold as -78 degrees Fahrenheit. Today it is a beautiful sunny day in Port Angeles and 84 degrees. It’s 50 degrees in Tok, Alaska.

I grew up in Tok, Alaska. It was great. Hunting, fishing, great wild country. Incredible mountains. Cold. I moved my family to Sequim in 1994 from Los Vegas, where I was a JAG in the USAF. Sequim is a great place to raise a family. My children thrived in the safe and healthy environment, and my boys participated in athletic events of all kinds at Sequim H.S. You may know my oldest son, who lives in Sequim, Jesse Marunde, who is a professional strongman. My other sons, Bristol, and Brady, live in Renton. I love Sequim and Port Angeles. I’m retired as a real estate attorney and now practice as an Associate Real Estate Broker. If you don’t live here, you should!
