An interesting town where half the people are hicks who want to cut down all the other trees and the other half are hippies who want to climb all the trees (This would be me). It is a beautiful area located in Western Washington, sandwiched between the Straits of Juan De Fuca and the Olympic Mountains. Many rivers and lakes are also close by.
Port Angeles was established as a townsite by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 by executive order which led the Board of Trade in 1890 to call it the "Second National City", Washington DC being the first. This meant if DC blew up then the nations capital would move to Port Angeles.
