Services We Offer

Fishing

Do you like to eat fresh food from local sources?  Want to know where your family’s food comes from? Trying to keep your food costs down?  Maybe you’re planting a vegetable garden, or shopping farmers’ markets for seasonal produce.  Fishing close to home is another way to put fresh food on your table.  Washington waters offer fishing opportunities for more than a dozen fish and shellfish species, in communities across the state.  Fishing is a way to slow down, get outdoors and create memories for your children or grandchildren.  Even if you’ve never picked up a fishing pole, or haven’t gone fishing since you were a kid, you can get started—or get back to—fishing.

National Park

The Olympic National Forest is part of an emerald paradise. The Forest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington State (the Evergreen State). The Olympic Peninsula is a unique geographic province consisting of five major landscape settings: temperate rain forest, rugged mountain terrain, large lowland lakes, cascading rivers, and saltwater beaches. Here the flora and fauna provide interest beyond the imagination.  Recreational opportunities seem unlimited.

The Olympic Peninsula features over 2,132,300 acres of public Federal lands for visitors to enjoy. Of this area, over 633,600 acres are managed by the Olympic National Forest , which blankets the foothills of the Olympic Mountains and surrounds much of the Olympic National Park. In addition to the Federal land on the peninsula, there are recreation opportunities offered on state, county and private lands as well. The Forest offers a variety of recreation opportunities and facilities including: Campgrounds , Trails, Cabins , Picnic Sites , Points of Interest , Auto Tours , and Wildernesses .
