GETTING TO PORT ANGELES
FROM SEATTLE: There are three possible routes to take from Seattle to Port Angeles; we recommend visiting
OPTION 1: Take the Seattle to Bainbridge Island Ferry and from there take WA-305 N to WA-3 N. You will need to cross the floating Hood Canal Bridge - check in advance to see if there are travel advisories as sometimes this bridge closes. The bridge will turn into WA-104 W and from there you’ll merge onto US-101 N/E Hwy 101 towards Port Angeles.
OPTION 2: If you’d. prefer to avoid ferries and bridges, you can also choose to take the I-5 S to Portland, then take highway WA-16 W and WA-3 N to WA-104 W. From there you’ll merge onto US-101 N/E Hwy 101 towards Port Angeles.
There are lots of options for hotels, vacation rentals, boutique stays and other awesome accommodations in Port Angeles! Our team recommends the following options; some of our wonderful hotel partners have even created special discount rates for Squatchcon attendees.
