Photo by Lonnie Archibald 6 | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 | FEATURES | NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE Outdoor adventures enchant in nature’s playground Mountains and beaches, art walks and trails biggest draws in Peninsula The North Olympic Peninsula draws hundreds of thou- sands of visitors each year—and for good reason. The mountains and beaches are perhaps the biggest draw for outdoor adventure, but festivals and community events tin the friendly towns and cities rate just as high for most people. Take, for example, monthly art walks and a festival celebrating the Victorian era. The variety of things to do and see — from peaceful Hood Canal to the wild Pacifi c Ocean — is seemingly endless. Here is a sampling of what a visit to the beautiful Olym- pic Peninsula could be. East Jefferson County Sunrise Perched on the northeastern tip of the Olympic Penin- sula, Point Wilson at Fort Worden State Park, near Port Townsend, is the perfect place to catch the sunrise as the fi rst rays hit the ground. Bring your camera, because the summer sun rises around the shoulder of Mount Baker across the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the Cascade range, turning the snow, sky and water into a glowing palette of spectacular colors. Nearby Fort Worden State Park has several types of over- night accommodations, from hostels to campgrounds or historical offi cers’ quarters. Swimming Despite its miles of saltwater beaches, scores of freshwa- ter lakes and hundreds of miles of rivers, the North Olym- pic Peninsula isn’t known as a great outdoor swimming location. That’s because the water is cold: a year-round 50 degrees or so in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and bays, and not much warmer in the large rivers during the summer. SEE NEXT PAGE>>>> NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE | INTRODUCTION | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 7 <<<< FROM PREVIOUS PAGE And bathing on the Pacifi c side of Jefferson County is dangerous because of deadly riptides. There is, however, a great place to enjoy the waters of Jefferson County with- out shivering. Quilcene Bay, on the Hood Canal, is known for producing some of the North- west’s most delicious oysters. But when you’re searching for oysters in the win- tertime, be careful and make sure you keep your eyes on the tides, the weather and most importantly the rules and regulations. As the weather begins to warm up at the end of April and May, the bay some- times is warm enough for swimmers. If you’re lucky, a curious harbor seal might even join you. A public beach is located at the end of Linger Longer Road, just past Quilcene off U.S. Highway 101. Sailing Port Townsend sits on the tip of the Quimper Peninsula, surrounded by the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and Admiralty Inlet to Puget Sound to the east. This makes for the perfect location from which to begin or end a sailing adventure around the area. There are numerous harbors around Port Townsend Bay and Admiralty In- let, including Hudson Point Marina and Port Townsend Boat Haven, both in Port Townsend. Some of the best attractions in this seaport town during the winter is the Victorian Festival and the Rhododend- run Festival. Also, you really cannot beat the shopping in this old Victorian-esque town. Sea kayaking Surrounded by water on three sides, there is no shortage of opportunities to dip a paddle in salt water off the North Olympic Peninsula. Marrowstone Island, which juts into Admiralty Inlet just east of Port Townsend, offers several beach sites suitable for launching kayaks. Oak Bay County Park at the south- east end of Marrowstone Island features an accessible beach and a campground with spectacular views east across Puget Sound to the Cascades. The park is just east of Port Hadlock off Oak Bay Road. Antiquing What better place to look for antiques than in the quintessential Victorian town of Port Townsend? At the turn of the 20th century, Port Townsend was a bustling seaport, and many elegant buildings lined the waterfront. Port Townsend’s past is kept alive by today’s downtown shopkeepers who have faithfully restored the grand old buildings. Sequim and the Dungeness Valley Birthwatching The fi ve-mile sandy hook called the Dungeness Spit reaches out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, providing the perfect place for birds and birders to gather. The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge is a prime nesting site for waterfowl. Because of this, the inside of the spit is off-limits to beach walkers. A walk along the outside can still net many sightings to add to a birdwatch- er’s life list, or just to enjoy. Shorebirds include sanderlings and black-bellied plovers, while common sea- birds are pigeon guillemots and marbled murrelets. It’s also a good location for spotting resident bald eagles and the more elusive peregrine falcons.

It provides a foundation for further planning to ensure that County leadership, agencies, and citizens are aware and prepared to meet the effects of disasters and emergencies. Incident management cannot be event driven. Through increased awareness and preventive measures, the ultimate goal is to help ensure a unified approach that will lesson vulnerability to hazards over time. The HIVA is not a detailed study, but a general overview of known hazards that can affect Jefferson County. Jefferson County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment 2011 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An integrated emergency management approach involves hazard identification, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis. This document, the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) describes the hazard identification and assessment of both natural hazards and technological, or human caused hazards, which exist for the people of Jefferson County.

Its western and northern boundaries are the Pacific Ocean and Strait of Juan de Fuca shorelines. The southern boundary cuts through Olympic National Park, the nearly million-acre wilderness interior of the Peninsula. The high mountains, rugged coastlines, deep forest, miles of unspoiled rivers, clean air and water, and mild marine climate offer a most unusual combination of environmental amenities. When the cultural, educational, and social amenities available in the cities and towns are considered, along with the range of living styles from small town to rural to backwoods, the county becomes a uniquely desirable place to live and work. The county is rich in natural resources. The Olympic Peninsula is one of the most productive timber-growing areas in the country, and 60 percent of Clallam County’s land area is in commercial timberland. The ocean waters once contained a vast fishery. Salmon have been the most significant species for commercial and sports fishermen, but twenty-four other commercially significant species are also landed. Some species of salmon have now become listed as threatened or endangered.

  • Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission 2019 Media Kit
    Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission 2019 Media Kit Hoh Rain Forest, Olympic National Park Located in Washington’s northwest corner, the Olympic Peninsula is a land like no other. It is both environmentally and culturally rich. From the jigsaw coastlines, temperate rainforest, and glacial-capped peaks of Olympic National Park to the organic farms and wineries of the Dungeness and Chimacum Valleys; from the cultural centers of native tribes dotting the Highway 101 Pacific Coast Scenic Byway to the maritime history of its port towns, there’s an adventure for every age and spirit here. Holiday Lights Blyn, WA Olympic National Park A Modern-day Eden The Olympic Peninsula is home to the 1,400 square mile Olympic National Park. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, the park has three distinctly different ecosystems; the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains and the primeval rain forests. In 1976, Olympic became an International Biosphere Reserve; and in 1981, it was designated a World Heritage Site. These diverse ecosystems are still largely pristine due to its wilderness designations. The wild and rugged coastline along the Pacific Ocean stretches over 70 miles and is the longest undeveloped coast in the contiguous United States. The extensive alpine forests are home to some of the world’s largest conifers, towering 300 feet tall and measuring 25 feet around. Among the ancient forests of old-growth trees exists the largest temperate rainforest on the earth. Found on the Pacific Coast of North America, stretching from Oregon to Alaska. The rugged Olympic Mountains, home to Mount Olympus and over 60 glaciers, are thought to be beautiful enough for the gods to dwell.
