This area was at the top of our list of places to retire from the military, which I did a couple months ago. There are over 20,000 veterans in Clallam County. We've been here 3 years and there's really not much not to like, politics aside.
If you have to have shopping malls and city life, Sequim is not for you. If you want a laid back, easy going, small town lifestyle and great weather, then you'll fit right in. We live right in the middle between Sequim and PA, and we end up going to Sequim for just about everything.
The job market, like many places, is not good, so be sure to check this out for your wife, if she is going to be working.
As far as outdoor stuff, hunting access will take some homework, because of the park there is not a lot of public access. Fishing can be pretty good and lot of us fish. There is a Puget Sound Anglers chapter in Sequim. There is no formal gun club here for rifles, so you'll have to go to Port Townsend unless you want to just go up in the woods and find a safe spot. There is a Sporting Clays course near where I live, in Agnew, and Port Angeles has a trap club.
Port Angeles has a Farmer's Market that's pretty popular.
It will be a lot drier here than where you are now. We get almost no snow, if you are smart and buy your home below 500 feet elevation.
One of the local jokes is:
"Sequim is where the retired people from Port Angeles go.........to visit their parents."
