Port Angeles Washington sits on the Strait of Juan de Fuca across from Victoria, British Columbia — a major international ferry crossing. The city hosts US Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles and serves as the primary gateway to Olympic National Park. Clallam County sits on the Olympic Peninsula — one of the most isolated large landmasses in the continental US with limited road access. Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami risk is extreme for Port Angeles, which sits directly on the strait that would channel tsunami energy.
