Welcome to the Queen of the Strait, a stunningly unique home designed by a local artist with a love of rich colors, reclaimed materials, and charming character. The Queen of the Strait brings new life into this 1911 home with rich colors, inviting textures, and works of art throughout. You’ll be wowed by the
design, and delighted to find features such as a kitchen everyone can hang out in, a unique and hand-built playhouse, and air conditioning for the warmer months.

Ten years older than the city of Port Angeles itself, the Queen of the Strait is still fabulous at 111 years old.
