The gateway city of the Olympic National Park, Port Angles is a beautiful, seaside and mountainous locale found in the state of Washington. A recreation lover’s dream, you can do any water sport or activity imaginable here and throughout the rest of the Olympic Peninsula. No matter if you’re just planning a quick getaway, make sure to explore the drives and ferries of Washington State’s “upper left.’ Water activities rule the summer with paddling, scuba, stand up paddleboarding, surfing, kayaking and more at the Strait of Juan de Fuca or in mountain lakes like Lake Crescent. During the winter, skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing rule the Hurricane Ridge Ski area. Luckily the city’s mountainside location keeps the slopes snowy but the streets, beaches and trails clear - so hiking, biking and beachcombing are available all year round. Shop in downtown Port Angeles for a collection of antique, clothing and gift shops. The city also has tons of breweries and wineries, so be sure to check them out!
In Port Angeles, Washington both medical and recreational marijuana have been legal since 2012. Luckily, if you’re looking to smoke some weed, there are plenty of dispensaries to choose from. Just before you start, there are a few things to note before consuming weed in this city. First, Washington recreational laws state that only adults 21 and over can purchase and possess up to one ounce of usable marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused edibles, 72 ounces in liquid form or 7 grams of marijuana concentrates. Additionally, MMJ patients can be of any age but must have a designated caregiver over the age of 21. Next, using marijuana on public property or in vehicles is highly illegal in Washington State Law – therefore it is only legal to smoke on private property. People driving with more than 5 nanograms of active THC per milliliter of blood, could result in a DUI under Washington State Law. Don’t forget that traveling outside of state borders with marijuana is also illegal, so don’t leave the state without finishing your weed.
