Fixit Computer & Tech

Apparently, this little shop still has a lot of people in its corner — people who weren’t ready to let it disappear.

I’m one of them.

A little over a week ago, I asked whether Sequim Computer Services was worth saving. Since then, your response has helped push some very real conversations forward.

I’ve been talking with the owner, and one thing we both agree on is that we’d much rather see Sequim Computer Services continue serving this community than watch those doors stay closed.

The stories, comments, shares, and messages kept coming — and it became pretty obvious that this community still cares about this place.

I’m not quite ready to tell you exactly what the next chapter looks like yet. There are still pieces being worked out behind the scenes.

But things are looking very good.

A week ago, the question was whether this place was worth saving.

Now I’m spending a lot more time working on what it’s going to take to get those doors open again.

So for everyone who spoke up, shared the original post, told a story, or simply said, “Please keep it here” —

you were heard.

And I’m starting to think those “Temporarily Closed” signs may actually stay temporary. 🙂

But there’s still work to do.

If you have an idea that could help keep these doors open for the long haul, now is the time to throw it my way.

Some of the best ideas I’ve heard so far have already come from people in this community, and I’m still listening.

Sequim may be about to lose another local business.

Can you help me save this one?
Sequim Computer Services has been part of the community for years.

It’s one of those places you may not think much about until the day you need it — and then you’re awfully glad it’s there.

But sometimes a local business reaches a point where its future comes down to whether there’s still a community that wants it there.

And right now, the future of Sequim Computer Services in Sequim is uncertain.
I may have an opportunity to help keep those doors open, and before its next chapter takes shape, I really want to hear from the people who live here.

Because a local computer shop is about more than fixing computers.

It’s having somewhere in town you can walk into with a laptop, printer, phone, or whatever piece of technology has decided to ruin your afternoon, talk to an actual person, and say:

“I have no idea what this thing is doing.”

And somebody helps.

So I want to ask Sequim one thing:
Is Sequim Computer Services worth saving?

If you think it is, tell me why.

And especially if they’ve helped you, your family, or your business over the years, I’d love to hear the story.

I’m genuinely interested in hearing what this place has meant to people around here.

Phone pop-ups? Think it’s a virus? Don’t tap. 📱🚨

This month’s Tech Tip Tuesday is running a little later than usual — I’ve been busy helping with Shipley Center [Sequim Senior Services] — but this one is important.

If your phone suddenly says:
“Virus detected!”
“Your phone is infected!”
“Call this number!”
“Install this cleaner app!”

Pause before tapping anything.

A lot of these scary warnings are designed to make people panic. Sometimes it’s not a real phone virus at all — it may be a fake pop-up, a bad app, a sketchy website notification, or a scam trying to get you to call fake “support.”

Quick rule:

Don’t tap.
Don’t call.
Don’t install.
Don’t give remote access.

Scammers love panic. We prefer calm.
Coming soon for this month’s Tech Tip Tuesday.

Phone calls or texts acting weird? Before you restart everything or toss your phone into a shrub… try this first. 🌿📱

This week’s Tech Tip Tuesday is a simple one:

Turn Airplane Mode ON
Wait 10 seconds
Turn Airplane Mode OFF

That’s it.

This can help refresh your phone’s connection when calls, texts, signal, or mobile internet are acting up.

Good news: it won’t erase anything. No photos lost, no contacts gone, no “oops, I broke the internet” moment.

Save this one for later — and share it with someone who gets nervous changing phone settings.

Still acting up? Call FixIT.

Ever click something and immediately think… “Uh oh”?

Next Tuesday’s Tech Tip Tuesday is for that exact moment.

I’ll be showing one of my favorite free ways to check your computer for malware after a suspicious click — without getting talked into upgrades, trials, or extras you don’t need.

Because yes, free can still mean free. Shocking concept, I know. 😄

Around here, we’ve got a simple rule:

Call FixIT before you click it.

Watch for the video next Tuesday.
