The City of Port Angeles will reorganize its departments effective Sept. 21, 2026, to improve internal coordination, communication, and service delivery.

The city stated the changes aim to streamline permitting processes and support economic development. The reorganization follows the city's announcement of the Peabody Street ADA improvements beginning Sept. 3, 2026, which will affect several downtown streets.

The city also announced a public hearing on updating its Critical Areas Ordinance, required every ten years under the Growth Management Act, and is seeking applicants for advisory boards to represent the city on county committees.
