What it’s like
The place. Seiling is a small city in Dewey County, Oklahoma, where daily life moves at the pace of a place where people tend to know one another. Household incomes run below the county's, and homes are modestly priced. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and almost no one works from home. Winters are cold, with January the chilliest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Residents earn their living mostly in farming, forestry and mining, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops. Wholesale work also employs a good number of people. Across Dewey County, the largest workplaces include Seiling Schools, Seiling Municipal Hospital and Gore Nitrogen Pumping Service. Jobs across the county grew over the past year, and unemployment there is low and close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Canton Lake is the nearest well-known water, a lake that is a longer drive away. Little Sahara State Park and Gloss Mountain State Park are protected areas, also a longer drive from town. Boiling Springs State Park is another protected area within the same longer drive.
