Port Angeles Washington - The Authentic Northwest.

Living in Port Angeles some times we forget what an amazing place we live in, till someone reminds us. Rebecca Phipps visited Port Angels in May of 2010 and fell in love with our incredible little city, So much so she wrote a poem about it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and take a moment to look at our town thru her eyes. Thanks Rebecca for the beautiful poem. Port Angeles A beauty within a town that I thought never existed A snowy mountain converging on the unsuspecting population A bay caressing its borders Trapped by Mother Nature But willing to stay captive Trees dot the land Filling it with colors Blue, white, green These are the seen colors…the expected colors No one sees the purplish bruise-like colors of the raw mountain The way the snow sits atop it like a cap The water starts out as a bluish-gray Teaming with life between the sea urchins and the boats Then the sun breaks free and shimmering brilliance invades the eye The greenery changes for every tree… Lime green, hazel, jade, rich, lust forest green And yet, all different, they are grouped alike with one name… Trees 18,000 trapped by Mother Nature 18,000 willing to stay captive My dearest, Port Angeles, your trickery is wise
