The mission of Human Resources is to provide leadership in attracting and retaining quality professional staff as a key to providing effective service to the citizens of Port Angeles.

Human Resources is responsible for the recruitment and retention of a professional, productive and diverse work force. Our concern is that the process is fair and that each applicant be given equal opportunity for employment.
