Press & Media Information for Port Angeles, Washington
There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to Port Angeles. Probably one of our bigger claims to fame is that the City of Port Angeles is the main entrance to the Olympic National Park as well as being the largest city on the Olympic Peninsula. As the outdoor capital of the Pacific Northwest with a hoppin’ downtown filled to the brim with exquisite restaurants, cool coffee shops, and chic shops, it’s no wonder that Outside Magazine named us the #2 BEST TOWN.
If you’re looking to run a story or need story ideas, we’re here to help. We’re always interested in hosting writers and members of the press and media for FAM trips. Visit Port Angeles is the official destination website for the City of Port Angeles. We’ve included some links below to the latest press articles and our press sheet.
