events and attractions nightclubsHow far is Port Angeles from Seattle airport?
Similarly one may ask, how long is the ferry ride from Seattle to Port Angeles?
The total trip from Seattle to Port Angeles, door to door, takes about 3 hours. It will take longer if you travel on a summer Friday due to the chance of having to wait for the next ferry and possible backups on the Hood Canal Bridge. If you hate the idea of the ferry you can take the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Keeping this in view, how is the drive from Seattle to Port Angeles?
Living in Seattle, we have family in Port Angeles and drive there often. The direct route from SeaTac is 130 miles and takes about 2 1/2 hours. The scenic route that goes up (or down) Highway 101 on the west side of Hood Canal is much more scenic, but it is 172 miles and takes about 3 1/2 hours.
The Port owns and operates two airports: William R. Fairchild International Airport in Port Angeles and Sekiu Airport in the Sekiu/ Clallam Bay area. Fairchild International Airport serves both commercial and private planes. Sekiu is a general aviation airport geared for private planes and charter flights.
