Peninsula College sits on a bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Port Angeles, Washington, approximately 70 miles northwest of Seattle. The main campus, established in 1961, encompasses 75 acres featuring modern academic buildings and a recently renovated student union center amid the natural surroundings of the Olympic Peninsula. The two-year public institution serves as a primary educational gateway for residents of Washington's North Olympic Peninsula region, offering associate degrees, professional-technical programs, and select bachelor's degrees. Peninsula College maintains strong programs in healthcare, cybersecurity, automotive technology, and welding, while also providing robust transfer pathways to four-year universities. The college operates additional learning centers in Port Townsend and Forks to serve the broader peninsula community.
