Seattle / Sequim
Sequim has 8,161 residents (give or take 39) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,292 people per square mile.
Sequim is about 46 miles from the Census center point for Seattle in a straight line and covers 6.319 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
Median household income in Sequim is $59,707 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.
49% of Sequim homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 23% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19).
38% of Sequim homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 49% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Sequim has 23 points fewer detached houses than Clallam County overall (72%) and 15 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 8% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US53009, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 4,222 occupied homes in Sequim, 1% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 94% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 94% of Sequim homes, ahead of propane at 3%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Sequim has about the Clallam County oil share of 1% and 8 points more electric heat than the county's 86% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US53009, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Sequim on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
PSE heat pump rebates (electric resistance to ASHP conversion), run by Puget Sound Energy, is a live program for Washington addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $2,400 per system (registry row 14 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.pse.com/en/rebates/heating/electric-resistance-to-air-source-heat-pump-conversion-rebate, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Sequim address before counting it. With 94% of Sequim homes already on electric heat and 4% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Sequim has 4,458 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 33% before 1980, with 38% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19).
Sequim has 4 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Clallam County as a whole (8%) and 15 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US53009, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Sequim home was built in 1993 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US5363385, checked 2026-10-19).

That 27F figure is the Clallam County cold-day number a Sequim heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 27F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Sequim home has 5 rooms and was built around 1993, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
