Family Medicine of Port Angeles

There will be a groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow, 12:30 p.m. at Family Medicine’s new downtown location — 240 West Front Street. The ceremony will include Mayor Gary Braun, representatives from Olympic Medical Center, Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce, First Federal and Shorebank.

The new location is the site of the old City Light building.

Dr. William Hennessey, one of the Family Medicine partners, said: “We’re looking forward to providing a patient-centered medical home under one roof for all our patients and hope to bring new energy to downtown Port Angeles.”

Changes Coming to Port Angeles

Two city-owned Port Angeles buildings are for sale: the City Light building at 240 West Front Street and the old fire hall at 215 South Lincoln. (Here’s the link.)

The fire hall (a historic building) is currently leased to MaMa’s Bakery & Restaurant, which hasn’t been open for awhile.

Family Medicine of Port Angeles (currently on West Eighth Street) might move into the City Light building. This would bring a lot more people into the downtown.

The Clallam County Historical Society is hoping whoever purchases the fire hall will be required by the City to maintain the building’s historical characteristics.

Also, the Bella Rosa Coffee House — at Fourth and South Lincoln — is for sale. There's an ad on Craigslist. Let’s hope it stays a coffee house, whoever buys it. As far as I know, it’s the only coffee house in Port Angeles that’s open in the evenings. What will happen to Port Angeles’ caffeine addicts?
