Waterfront District
Welcome to the Heart of Downtown Port Angeles
Nestled between the Olympic Mountains and the Salish Sea, the Waterfront District is the cultural and economic heart of Port Angeles. We’re building a thriving downtown—rooted in authenticity, driven by creativity, and ready to welcome locals and visitors alike.
Our Mission: To revitalize and elevate Downtown Port Angeles through authentic promotion, welcoming design, economic vitality, and long-term sustainability.
What We Do
We are a nonprofit alliance of business owners, creatives, residents, and civic leaders working together to:
Promote a Distinct Local Identity
Through signature events, guest experiences, and community storytelling, we are shaping a brand that reflects who we are and where we’re going.
Design a Welcoming Downtown
By improving walkability, enhancing public spaces, and encouraging inviting storefront design, we’re creating a downtown that feels vibrant, accessible, and alive year-round. A place where locals and visitors alike feel at home.
Strengthen the Local Economy
By reducing storefront vacancies, supporting small businesses, and attracting investment, we are revitalizing our commercial core from the ground up.
Build a Sustainable Model for Growth
We’re uniting stakeholders, empowering volunteers, and aligning with the ElevatePA vision to ensure long-term impact.
