It is easy to get to Port Angeles from Seattle and other Puget Sound locations -  just use our directions below.

Visitors driving from the Seattle area have two options:  taking the car ferry across Puget Sound (30 minute ride) and driving North on the Peninsula (1 hour 30 minutes) or "driving around" through Tacoma (2 hours 15 minutes driving time) with no ferry crossing.
