EV Charging in Olympic Peninsula & Port Angeles

Port Angeles is the doorway to Olympic National Park — Hurricane Ridge above town, Lake Crescent down the road, the Hoh rainforest and the coast beyond — plus the Victoria ferry from the city dock. Sequim, in the rain shadow, adds lavender farms and the Dungeness spit.

Charging thins fast west of Port Angeles, so treat town as the base: charge overnight, do the long US-101 loop legs with margin, and remember the ferry lot is classic dwell time if you’re walking on to Victoria.

When to go: July–September is the dry-window peak. Hurricane Ridge is snow-gated much of the year — winter visits burn extra range on heat and the climb.

Why people come here

  • Olympic National Park: a UNESCO World Heritage Site with three worlds — Pacific coast, temperate rainforest, alpine ridge
  • Hurricane Ridge, a mile high and 18 miles from Port Angeles, is the drive everyone makes
  • The Hoh Rainforest drips with the lower 48’s lushest moss; Lake Crescent is its glacial mirror
  • The Black Ball ferry crosses to Victoria, B.C. from the city dock
