Up and Coming Port Angeles
-
8/16/2023
I totally disagree with many of the reviews I’ve read about Port Angeles. I’ve lived here for 18 months now and I absolutely love this town. The weather is awesome, the outdoor opportunities are amazing. Cultural and arts offerings are numerous with a brand new multi million arts and events center recently opening. Port Angeles is not on the decline it’s on the incline. It’s trying to bounce back from Covid. The people are friendly and Community minded. We do have a housing issue. Air Bnb has decimated our rental properties as have high rents. The city council have moratorium on new vacation rental properties. We have homeless and we have drug problems. What city doesn’t? It’s moving in the right direction. I’m happy to call Port Angeles home. We have the ocean and the mountains. I am an active volunteer in the community. You can complain or be a part of the solution. As for politics, we are a mixed bag of right and left, but honestly I haven’t found any of our community not easy to get along with regardless of political affiliation. That shouldn’t define us.
