SEQUIM — This will be a year of stabilization and progress for Olympic Medical Center after a difficult 2023 and the post-pandemic financial crisis that impacted health systems across the state and country, CEO Darryl Wolfe told Sequim Sunrise Rotary.

The Olympic Medical Center board of commissioners learned at their last meeting of 2023 that the system had lost $1.3 million in November and a total of $24 million through the end of that month this year.

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.
