Olympic National Park

Getting to the Park:

All park destinations can be reached from U.S. Highway 101, which circumnavigates the Olympic Peninsula. From the Seattle/Tacoma area, travelers may reach U.S. 101 by several different routes, either by crossing Puget Sound on one of the Washington State Ferries or by driving south around Puget Sound. Travel time along any of these routes is approximately two-and-a-half to three hours from the Seattle/Tacoma area to Port Angeles, where the main park visitor center and park headquarters are located. Port Angeles is served daily from downtown Seattle and SeaTac Airport by Olympic Bus Lines and Tours. Reservations are recommended; call 360-452-3858. The Clallam Transit System provides service within Port Angeles and commuter services to locations around the northern Olympic Peninsula. For further information, call 360-452-4511. 

Car and passenger ferry service is available throughout most of the year between Victoria, British Columbia and Port Angeles. For information on ferry schedules call 206-464-6400 or 800-843-3779 or visit their web site.

Most roads remain open year round, although several are subject to winter closure because of snow. For information on Hurricane Ridge and Park Road Conditions, call 360-565-3131.
