About this business
Due to flooding concerns in the early 1900s, the citizens of Port Angeles worked out an incredible plan to elevate the city's downtown streets, creating a network of underground tunnels and storefronts. In this unbelievable feat of engineering many older buildings were lost, but a select few remain. The stories they have to tell are captivating. The tour begins with a fascinating explanation of the history of the city and the tactics used to raise the city streets in 1914. Next, take a short stroll through downtown Port Ange... read more

Steve has created such an interesting tour. If you enjoy history you’ll love this! The passion Steve has for the history of Port Angeles and the Olympic Peninsula was evident throughout. He has cultivated great relationships with store owners to expand the tour and get into places that have held onto history for decades. It is a long tour so use the restroom ahead of time and wear comfy shoes you can walk around town and up and down stairs in.
We didn't even know there was an underground until we saw the tour listed as a thing to do on a day trip to Port Angeles. I think it was fun to do once but my interest may have been muted by having done old town tours in quite a few other locations. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the tour which I think elevated it above more touristy tours I have done in the past.
There was so much information that I would take a second tour because I’m sure there would be new information that I missed on the first tour. Very fascinating.
Everyone who lives in Port Angeles should take the Underground & Heritage Tour. The story of how our town rose (literally) from the beach (and sewage drainage issues) is fascinating. Who knew you could move that much mud from a nearby hogback ridge to raise a downtown area 10 feet or more? Wow! I have been on this tour five times and have made it a regular gift to local friends. The tour on September 20, 2024, was the best yet ... and they've all been great. Thanks to the guide and the Visitor's Center for continuing this fu... read more
