Port Angeles was founded in the mid-19th century, originally serving as a trading post and shipping hub. The city grew as a timber and fishing center, leveraging its location along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Over the years, it has evolved into a gateway for outdoor enthusiasts heading into Olympic National Park. The local economy now balances tourism with its historical roots in fishing and timber.
