When considering relocation, a quality school system is mandatory and for a region of 65,000, the education options are fantastic. The public schools consistently rank very high, in addition there are private school options, and upon graduation students do not have to leave the area. Peninsula College offers two-year degrees and several four-year degree options and non-credit adult learning. There is also a partnership between the communities that recently developed the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center, focusing more on vocational training.
