Decluttering in Sequim: 10 Places to Take Your Stuff

Life on the North Olympic Peninsula means being creative when you don't have all the resources the big cities have; namely recycling centers everywhere, thrift stores everywhere, internet marketing sans Facebook, and millions of potential buyers everywhere. Welcome to life on the Edge of America.

So, now, after being here a few years and still trying to figure out where to take things and at what times, I have created a Google map as a resourceful solution to help myself and others who are wondering where to take stuff when it comes to decluttering, recycling, and minimizing on the North Olympic Peninsula.

 Likewise, should you be in need of buying used goods, this is the map for you!

 Each marker on the map includes the business contact information and my notes about the services they provide. Just click on the map marker!

 As of this writing, businesses on the map include:
1. Around Again
2. Blue Mountain Transfer Station (County Dump)
3. Carrie's Corner Collectibles & Thrift Store
4. Office Depot
5. O'Reilly's Auto Parts
6. Pumpkin Patch Flea Market
7. Sequim-Dungeness Hospital Guild Thrift Shop
8. Sequim Fire Department
9. Sequim Goodwill
10. Serenity House Thrift Store

 Feel free to share this map with others so more people know about what resources are out here on the North Olympic Peninsula. 

 I am not affiliated with any of these businesses. I am a private citizen providing compiled information based on my own research. The information provided is not the totality of any businesses' services.

 Please contact businesses directly to confirm they can provide the services you need and to learn what else they can do for you here on the Peninsula.



This map will be a work in progress as I discover more resources in and around Sequim, on the North Olympic Peninsula.

 I will address online options for decluttering on the Peninsula in another blog post. Sign up for email notifications in the side bar so you don't miss it!

 Please email me if you have a place to add on the map or for any other inquiries!

The Problem With TCM's Closed Captions and How To Fix It (For DISH Customers!)

Captioning Service 1 is the DISH default; switching it to 0 (zero) works with TCM captions. I don't want my MTV any more, but I do want my captions, especially on TCM where old movies are full of fuzzy sounds, funny accents, and mumbling voices -- and thanks be to the stenographers who make it possible! However, the past few months TCM's captions have not been as consistent and it made me question if they stopped captions altogether since all the other channels still had captions. The good news is TCM didn't do away with captions, but the Captioning Service setting did change without any word given to DISH customers or TCM viewers, at least not to this one. Scroll to the end to read the solution for DISH customers, or keep reading for my rhetorical digression: Gee, if only there was a way to inform paying customers of changes like this? For all the useless information TCM hosts spew, they could at least give some useful information since their captions are th

Kinky Kicks, Disgraceful Dames, & Hollywood Hypocrisy! My 10-star Movie Review of 'Smarty' from 1934

My 10-star review on IMDb.com of ‘Smarty’ from 1934 , starring Joan Blondell, Warren William, Edward Everett Horton, Frank McHugh, and Claire Dodd:  Kinky Kicks, Disgraceful Dames, & Hollywood Hypocrisy! Marriage and divorce lawyers take a bigger beating in this movie than Joan Blondell does, and if a single slap on the face equates to domestic violence then people don't know what domestic violence really is! There is more violence against women in modern movies than there is in this film, yet people are now programmed to believe that it's acceptable for women to get beaten so long as it isn't by their husbands! Please, go sit through 'True Romance' and watch Patricia Arquette take a bloody beating from James Gandolfini if you think 'Smarty' is violence against women. Even 'Goodfellas' has more marital violence, yet both AMC & IFC can't stop showing it which tells me that reckless violence against women is the status quo per th

Marriage is Hell and Love is a Battlefield: What You Don’t Know About Marriage If You Haven’t Been Married

Q: What is marriage? A: Marriage is like the U.S. Marines -- it's not a rose garden! If Harry & Sally had an awkward multi-year courtship on the way to the altar, I would say that my husband and I had a completely catastrophic 19-year courtship on the way to the courthouse.    As of this writing, it is now the 21 st anniversary of the beginning of our long and unconventional relationship, which started with a chance meeting on Valentine’s night in 1999; and our two-year marriage anniversary is still a couple months away which took place on a Friday the 13 th in 2018 -- unconventional is putting it mildly! In fact, I’ve now known my husband for over half of my life and it didn’t happen without overcoming a lot of issues that rip many couples apart -- the funny thing is that we dealt with most of those issues before we ever got married, LOL! Needless to say, I put my time and tears into our relationship, and I totally earned the title of Wife just like m
