This will consider how the tourism economy could grow on the Olympic Peninsula in a way that ensures tourism remains a vital economic driver while also enhancing our residents’ quality of life. “In creating this plan, it is critical for all voices to be heard—especially the voices of our residents,” said Marsha Massey, executive director for the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau. “To that point, we are inviting those who reside on the peninsula to participate in a short survey and to provide valuable input.” The goal for the plan is to provide a framework for inclusive, values-based, responsible tourism development and promotion. It’s important that this plan balances the needs of local residents and businesses who rely on visitors for their livelihoods, as well as the visitors who experience our community. Everyone who dwells on the Olympic Peninsula or has a business in the area is invited to participate in this survey.

The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau is the officially recognized Destination Marketing Organization for the Olympic Peninsula and administers the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, a collaborative marketing partnership of the major municipalities on the Olympic Peninsula of nine funding partners representing three counties (Clallam, Jefferson, and Mason), five cities (Clallam Bay/Sekiu, Forks, Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Sequim), and the Quinault and north coast beaches area of Grays Harbor County.

Please help us spread the word and don’t forget to sign up! We are working with Peninsula Housing Authority to help five families in Forks complete building their homes. This mutual self help build program is similar to a Habitat build, but the families work together to complete all the homes at once. This neighborhood in Forks has experienced some setbacks in their build due to supply chain and COVID and instead of finishing in just one year they have been working for two. You can volunteer as an individual or as staff team, working together in a meaningful volunteer opportunity that allows your team to make a difference. It will be fun and so rewarding seeing the families finally able to move into their homes. Take a look at the link below, share with staff and let me know if you have any questions or want to sign up to help. https://unitedwayclallam.org/volunteer <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001_M0Q9IUCmt9ORb-L3snGWwBheW-bJuUnAzpzK8t9PA79t62ZwPkunqfKjb35tq_WhqRZ6jnWKZWnlMJNp_YhwuJn30WYhJW9hcYfevdguTM3RgnKldxq918ryGBxmS3 PgAgK2WIDi_2tbvV8bD1bMmTQv-rhXDFm&c=n97d0aWT3SBwQGifI35Zy4nce9ggsfdDsJZkXfmuLHAfUV5vRnc-yQ==&ch=VcH0l3EHXwgeOPIez1sCx_StzkxEJKco1yhvSb5Q0BTIrgWo3sSChw==> Thanks again!
