Tourism Up in Clallam County

Based on 2009 lodging tax receipts, tourism was up slightly in Clallam County. Forks was mostly responsible for bringing up Clallam County’s total. Sequim and Port Angeles both had declining receipts, but their decline was less than the state average.

Jefferson County remained roughly the same, with Port Townsend declining.

Let’s hope we’ll have some momentum now. PenPly is about to fire up again (if they haven’t already). Census jobs will be available starting in March or April, with wages starting at $13.25 an hour. Hopefully this will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
