Port Angeles

Port Angeles has served as a port on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula since the 19th century. Set on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the city faces Vancouver Island across the water and rises southward toward the Olympic Mountains. It is a principal urban base for Olympic National Park, whose protected terrain ranges from glacier-clad peaks to Pacific coastline and temperate rainforest. The name recalls the Spanish Puerto de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, recorded for the harbour in 1791. Its waterfront also connects Washington with Victoria, British Columbia, by ferry.
