Chamber
The Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce is a membership organization representing the community of Port Angeles and the surrounding area. As the Chamber of Commerce, we concentrate our marketing efforts within the natural boundary made up of Crescent Lake to the west, and Sequim Bay to the east.
The majority of the membership of the chamber is made up of individuals and businesses within the city limits of Port Angeles, which is a community of just under 20,000. The Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce is the largest business organization on the Olympic Peninsula and currently has a membership of just over 500.
The Chamber of Commerce is also dedicated to raising the awareness of the Port Angeles area through tourism, and markets the area as a tourism destination. To service the guest when they visit, the Chamber runs and staffs the Visitor Center which is located on the waterfront next to the ferry docks in downtown Port Angeles. Our address is 121 E. Railroad / Port Angeles, WA 98362.
