Clallam County, Washington

Clallam Location Map Washington

Clallam County is a nature lover’s paradise, perched on the Olympic Peninsula. It stretches from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Pacific Ocean. Olympic National Park takes up a good chunk of the county. Port Angeles, the county seat, serves as a gateway to the park.

The area’s history is rich with Native American culture and logging heritage. You’ll find some of the most diverse ecosystems in the country here. From rainforests to alpine meadows, Clallam County has it all.

The climate is surprisingly mild, thanks to the Pacific Ocean’s influence. Sequim, in the county’s east, lies in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. It gets less rain than Seattle! Outdoor recreation is a way of life for locals. Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, or whale watching, there’s always something to do.
