THE PORT ANGELES DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION

WELCOMES YOU TO
 DOWNTOWN PORT ANGELES

Port Angeles has a rich heritage, politically, militarily and economically.  President Abraham Lincoln ordered a reservation of land here in 1862 for a lighthouse and military use.  Later Port Angeles became a townsite reserve, and by Congressional act in March, 1863, Port Angeles was designated as America's Second National City, the alternative capital of the United States.

Port Angeles found prosperity as a logging town, and as a natural deepwater port.  At one time, it was the home of the Pacific Fleet.  As the economic structure of the area changed, Port Angeles responded by expanding its tourism base as an international gateway for travelers to Vancouver island, British Columbia, and to the beautiful Olympic National Park.

The sidewalks of downtown Port Angeles offer amazing views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Olympic National Park from anywhere in town.  We are surrounded by miles of beautiful coastline, beaches and pristine forests.  As you visit downtown enjoy the spectacular scenery, friendly people, delightful shops and wonderful restaurants.  Port Angeles is an ideal place to live and work, and the perfect vacation destination.

We look forward to your visit to Downtown Port Angeles and hope you enjoy your time with us.

BUSINESSES OF THE MONTH--MAY 2008

As we all know, it was a very long winter for those businesses located on Laurel Street.  Not only were the sidewalks non-existent but the street was closed  for much of the construction period to allow for the sidewalk replacement and preservation of the underground on the west side of Laurel between First and Front streets. 
The Organization Committee would like to recognize each of those businesses for their patience and fortitude in remaining open during construction and taking it in stride with the knowledge that it was for the betterment of Downtown and for the benefit of the entire community.  You are all truly businesses of not only the month—but the year!!

Hat’s off to each of you.
