Clallam County Area Information


Clallam County is the northwesternmost county in Washington State and the continental United States. Clallam County is on the North Olympic Peninsula, a large mass of land mostly surrounded by both ocean and inland beach.

Port Angeles is the county seat, approximately 60 miles (72 road miles) northwest of Seattle.

 

About 1 million acres of land on the Olympic Peninsula have been set aside as the Olympic National Park, an area that has unique and distinct biological qualities found nowhere else in the world. 95% of the Olympic National Park land is designated wilderness.

Olympic National Park contains ecosystems such as old-growth and temperate rain forests, 60 miles of wild coastline, and rugged, mountainous terrain up to heights of about 8,000 feet.
