I’m finally back…I am so impressed with the software, Word Press, that allows me to “post” even when I am not home to do it…and a huge thank you to my brother Denton , who taught me how to use it.

This scene of the early settlement at Enis Creek is another of the murals that depicts the early history of Port Angeles, WA . “An interesting historical anecdote is that in 1862 President Lincoln signed an executive order that created the Port Angeles Township. Then in 1890, the U.S. Board of Trade designated Port Angeles as the “Second National City.” Washington, D.C., was still the “First National City.”" A visit to this site will clue you in to even historical tibits.

There are a number of large murals on the walls of several business in Port Angeles. This one depicts an early village of the Lower Elwha Tribe . Notice the depiction of Mt. Baker in the background of the mural. With the right weather conditions, this magnificent mountain is an everyday occurance.

Sequim, like many small towns in the Northwest, often decorates the outside of building with murals that depict the area. This one is located on the Heather Creek building, next to Hurricane Coffee Company
