Port Angeles: Elwha tribe’s plans for marina slowly progressing, chamber told

PORT ANGELES — Lower Elwha Klallam tribal officials say plans on their “megayacht” marina on Ediz Hook are slowly progressing.

Tribal officials told the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce on Monday that the U.S. Coast Guard and the Bureau of Indian Affairs are sending real estate specialists to the proposed site of the marina.

The marina would be built on a tract along the south side of Ediz Hook Road, just west of the Puget Sound Pilots’ station and near the entrance to the Coast Guard base.

Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Chairman Dennis R. Sullivan and Executive Director John H. Miller spoke to members of the chamber during its weekly luncheon meeting at the Port Angeles CrabHouse restaurant.

“We are really limited to what we can say at this time,” Sullivan said.
