Port Angeles is a beautiful area with a really bad drug problem. The crime here is as bad as in the big city. The schools are mediocre at best, however high schoolers do have an opportunity to attend the local community college at a reduced rate- making it possible to graduate high school with their AA degree.
The nature around us is hard to beat. We've got sea at our toes and the mountains at our backs. We have both Washington and National parks here. The camping and hiking are divine.
Favorite places are the Olympic National Park, Lake Crescent and Lake Sutherland.
Never leave anything of value in your car! Always lock everything up, don't even trust your hotel maid!
