Port Angeles: The North Olympic Peninsula and the Strait of Juan de Fuca
Port Angeles sits on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula in Clallam County, facing the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Canadian city of Victoria, British Columbia, some 18 miles across the water. The Black Ball Ferry Line operates the M.V. Coho between Port Angeles and Victoria year-round, a 90-minute crossing that has run since 1959. The ferry brings a steady flow of Canadian and American visitors through the city and serves as the primary non-air link between the peninsula and Vancouver Island.
The city is the largest population center on the north peninsula and the county seat of Clallam County. It incorporated in 1890. The port facilities along the waterfront historically supported logging, pulp milling, and fishing industries that shaped the regional economy through the twentieth century. The Nippon Paper pulp mill, which had operated in various corporate identities since 1920, closed in 2017, marking the end of large-scale pulp production in the city.
Olympic National Park headquarters is located in Port Angeles, and the city serves as a gateway to Hurricane Ridge, the most accessible high-alpine area of the park via a 17-mile road that climbs from downtown to 5,242 feet. The park itself extends south and west to encompass nearly a million acres of rain forest, glaciated peaks, and wilderness coastline. Peninsula College, a two-year community college, operates from a campus on the south side of the city.
Population is approximately 19,000. The Port Angeles School District serves public schools, with Port Angeles High School as the district's single comprehensive high school. The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe has a reservation immediately west of the city, and the Elwha River restoration project, which removed two dams from the river between 2011 and 2014, returned the largest dam removal project in U.S. history to salmon habitat.
