On the waterfront Port Angeles is working to improve the downtown waterfront area. The Waterfront Development Project is underway, putting the finishing touches on Phase II. This includes a park adjacent to the west of the Esplanade at Railroad Avenue and Oak Street. It will feature two new sandy pocket beaches, a large plaza and gathering green for events, interpretive signs, local artwork, connection to the Olympic Discovery/Waterfront Trail, native landscaped areas, rain gardens, overlooks and more. The whole project is expected to be completed by early spring 2016.

Feiro Marine Life Center
P A R A D I S E
The marine life within the tanks at the Feiro Marine Life Center seems static until a volunteer points out a scallop filtering plankton and several starry flounders and great sculpins blanketed in sand. This and other lessons are what Arthur Feiro, a Port Angeles biology teacher with a passion for marine life, wanted his legacy to be in establishing the center, which is situated on the city pier next to Hollywood Beach. The Feiro Marine Life Center is an educational and scientific organization promoting marine education and conservation. Educational programs for the community are scheduled on a regular basis. Visitors can get up close to local marine life in the center’s touch and view tanks and bank of aquariums. The exhibits are representative of the marine life inhabiting the Strait of Juan de Fuca, including a young giant Pacific octopus captured in the Strait. Close to 20,000 visitors walk through the nonprofit center’s doors annually. Feiro is open seven days a week year round from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. during the winter months. Admission is free, but donations are happily accepted. For additional information, visit www.feiromarinelifecenter.org or call 360-417-6254.
