Crescent

Few communities in Washington have a history as closely tied to the development of Lake Crescent as Crescent. Set in the forested interior of the Olympic Peninsula, it lies near Lake Sutherland and northeast of Lake Crescent, a deep lake shaped by glaciers. U.S. Route 101 places Crescent on the road route between Port Angeles and the peninsula’s western side. Lake Crescent Lodge, opened in 1915 on the lake’s south shore, recalls the period when this area became a destination for travelers. Olympic National Park surrounds much of Lake Crescent, with the Olympic Mountains beyond its wooded shoreline.
