Tragedy at Fairmount Restaurant
Fortunately nobody was killed when a Lincoln Town Car crashed into the Fairmount Restaurant in Port Angeles last Friday. But there were several injuries, and one of the Fairmount patrons is still in the hospital.
When the PDN first reported this incident 2 days ago, the driver of the Lincoln hadn’t been cited for anything, for whatever unfathomable reason. Now, in today’s update she has finally been cited for negligent driving.
The Fairmount is a great restaurant, with a friendly down home atmosphere as well as good food. Their pizza is excellent. If you’re from the Northeast and haven’t had real pizza since you left home, check out the Fairmount.
The restaurant is in for some hard times because of this accident. On top of the expense of repairing the building, their seating capacity is greatly reduced until the repair work is done.
Juana Argyropoulos — the owner along with her husband Art — said: “We’re going to try to survive.”
They’re hoping their longtime regular customers will continue coming in.
“I don’t remember all their names, but they all are really nice people. I hope they’re not going to be afraid to come back in here again.”

That place has a neat vibe, like it's the same customers who have been going there for years and everybody knows everybody there.
I like their breakfast menu. I'll try to go there more often while they're repairing the building.
They should leave the hole and get an espresso cart.
The Fairmont not only has the best pizza in Port Angeles, but it has one of the best bluegrass/country jams in the area Tuesday nights. The place is always packed with smiling faces.
it wasn't a "tragedy" it was an "accident".
Big difference.
I'm sure insurance will mend the building, and the one stricken patron will recover.
Accidents happen.....
