Good morning, Port Angeles.

The Dungeness Crab Festival in Port Angeles was awarded the state's Outstanding Event honor last week at the 2025 State of Washington Tourism Conference in Spokane + Festival Director Rose Thompson credited local volunteers, sponsors, businesses, and residents for making the event a success.

Clallam County officials are moving forward on funding a new sawmilling operation at Forks Industrial Park that will create up to 100 family-wage jobs once Riverside Forest Products USA finalizes a lease—this project includes a $260,000 loan, a $675,000 grant and $200,000 in state funds for key infrastructure improvements. The operation will produce kiln-dried hemlock and green Douglas fir lumber to help reduce local transportation costs and boost the timber sector.

Scuba divers from Reef Check—an international NGO dedicated to conservation—recovered instruments from a buoy yesterday and stored them in a bucket to preserve data on salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature for kelp in 50°F water of the Salish Sea.

The Port Angeles Roughriders football team, now 2-4, will travel Saturday night to Civic Stadium in Bellingham to face the 3-3 Squalicum Storm.
