Port Angeles

This is a wonderful place to kayak. I went on a tour of Freshwater Bay on the Strait of Juan de Fuca with AJ of Olympic Raft & Kayak. This tour received an excellent write-up in the Seattle P.I. I swear I am no way affliated with them… I just had a wonderful time on the tour!

Port Angeles is at once uplifting and depressing. It’s a small town with an urban center that almost thrives, seemingly after years of decay. The Olympic National Park is at its doorstep, and yet the town itself has little beauty.

We stayed here pretty much each time we came to washington state… such a cool town… great thrift malls…

Not only have I been here, but I visit every few years because it was my place of birth (actually the Dungeoness Lighthouse in Sequim). I think it’s a breathtaking area.

very pretty. i used to go here a lot on my way to victoria. i used to always stop at this little diner and i would eat the most delicious clam chowder.
