Port Angeles, USA, Ready to share its love for Canadians.
As Canadians consider travel bans and consumer boycotts amid a simmering trade war with the United States, the community of Port Angeles is worried — but ready to show its love for its friends across the strait. Business owners and residents consider Victorians part of the “economic life blood” for the city of 20,000, bringing tourists in for art and culinary festivals, hiking and running competitions and onward to Seattle for major sporting events. They aim to prove it.

Sam Grello is executive director of the Port Angeles Waterfront District, Marc Abshire is Executive Director of the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Both will join us via Zoom
