Foggy Point, Washington

Foggy Point, Washington is located along the Straits of Juan de Fuqua, west of Port Angeles. It is on a peninsula that extends north then bends west, so that it looks like the head and small claw of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

In Victorian times, Foggy Point was a well known smugglers hideaway. Wine, spirits and luxury goods were the typical items smuggled. The citizens of Foggy Point would like to believe that the pirates of yesteryear are only a romantic paragraph in their communities’ history. It’s true that the coves and bays of today are no longer plied by the multi-masted schooners, but it would be naïve to believe smugglers no longer exist. Every man, woman and child knows not to go to the docks alone; even in broad daylight. . .
