The City of Port Angeles is seeking creative proposals for the sale and redevelopment of the former Port Angeles Fire Hall located at 215 S Lincoln Street. Proposals, due by February 13, 2026, will prioritize affordable housing and historic preservation of the landmark property.
The 6,768 square foot building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features the historic Art Deco Fire Hall designed by William Aitken in 1931. Originally part of a planned city government campus, it has served multiple roles over the years, including fire hall, city hall chambers, jail, juvenile home, YMCA, sanitation department, senior center, and café.
Currently zoned for commercial, multifamily, and mixed uses, this property offers a unique opportunity to restore and redevelop a historically significant site into a mixed-use development offering affordable housing and ground-floor commercial. It is strategically located within walking distance of Veterans Memorial Park, Safeway, City Hall, the Clallam County Courthouse, and downtown Port Angeles.
Proposals will be evaluated on several criteria, including:
- Proposed future use(s) of the property
- Proposed purchase price
- And the proposer’s willingness to work with the City to achieve affordable housing, mixed-use, and historic preservation.
The City aims to sell the site to a qualified individual or entity who will restore, preserve, finance, operate, and maintain the site as an affordable housing development.
Qualifying projects may be eligible for financial support through the City’s Sales and Use Tax Grants (see RCW 82.14.530 and RCW 82.14.540).
All proposals must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Friday, February 13, 2026. Questions and proposals should be submitted to the Department of Community & Economic Development at ced@cityofpa.us.
Interested parties can view the RFP, property details, and ideal qualifications on the City’s website.
Those interested may submit a proposal to purchase and develop this property at 215 S Lincoln Street in Port Angeles.
