Port Angeles Verizon Store is running a scam!!

Went in there today to upgrade my phone. While the sales person was working on my upgrade, he walked around the store and picked out accessories for the phone and rung them up on my bill. Phone case, screen protector, camera lens protector, cord, and brick. None of the items had prices on them. Nor did I ask him about these accessories or request them. He told me the total was going to be $340 and that the items were discounted. I told him I didn’t want the case or wall brick because I thought I had one at home. He proceeded to check the battery quality on my old phone and tell me my phone probably didn’t hold a battery and that I was charging wrong. The phone was 3 years old so yea I would imagine the battery to be somewhat degraded. I basically had to fight him to get him to remove the items from the bill. Then when I asked to see how much each item was, I had to reach my head around his screen to see the most confusing receipt. Basically impossible to tell the total of the accessories versus the tax/fee for the phone upgrade. I ended up getting the cord because I thought the phone didn’t come with one(it does!) and the screen protectors which were a total rip off! I was not given a receipt and got a text later from “Victra” to open my digital invoice but it didn’t work!

Anyways, do not let them sell you on the accessories at Verizon in PA. All the items can be bought from Amazon for much cheaper!

Can’t wait to go back tomorrow and let them know that are running a scam and that they are shitty people!

Does Port Angeles Need Air Service?

Port Angeles is like the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula!! I know that Dash Air Shutte was trying to start flights to SeaTac until Kenmore Air, which stopped flying to Port Angeles in 2014, had a meltdown over this. Small towns and cities need air service to connect them to the outside world.

I think regional airlines such as Contour, Boutique, Denver Air Connection, or Advanced Air can start flights to SeaTac and Portland, allowing passengers to connect to other airlines.

For example, Contour flies the ERJ-135/145 aircraft on 30-seat planes to smaller cities. Contour Airlines seats are leather and have 36 inches of legroom. Passengers can select their seats for free, and all fare classes include the first checked bag at no extra charge. This airline is on a different level than Kenmore or Dash. Not sure how Kemore can bully Contour like how they are bullying Dash because Contour is known across the United States

To whomever striped Edgewood & Lauridsen

You had me cheering for your thick rubber marks at the Extreme Sports park all the way past the Airport Nursery but then you somehow managed to completely lose it and take out a telephone box , plow some unlucky person's front yard. It wasn't until I drove by the Evergreen's Autobody and saw the destroyed newish white F-150 pickup that literally had the wheels fallen off did I realize it was you.

But in all seriousness, hopefully no one was hurt other then the poor truck.

Anyone have any more news on what happened?

Wholesome bachelorette in Port Angeles/Sequim during Lavender Festival

Thinking about hosting our joint bachelor/bachelorette in Sequim/Port Angeles. We aren’t big partiers but we love to eat and drink good.

We’re also considering doing some type of bar crawl/hide and seek. Basically, the bride or groom will hide in a bar and the rest of the party has to enter a bar and search for us, and can’t leave for the next bar until everyone in the group finishes their drink. Is there a street or block where all the bars are where we could go something like this?

Other suggestions I’m looking for:

  • craft or cooking classes
  • restaurants
  • spas
  • activities for the bachelors
  • wine tastings
  • anything else that might be fun to do with buddies

I’ve been to Sequim a few times but never the Lavender Festival. If there are any must-dos I’d love to hear them!

Thank you all for your suggestions!!

Rental property

What is the deal with rentals in this area? Everything is outrageously overpriced or it’s an Airbnb- so pathetic. I’m so tired of the greed. How tf do they think renter are supposed to come up almost 6k down to move in???? Laughable and pathetic. I was born and raised here. I’m shocked at what I’m seeing, and the people who have moved in aren’t helping matters. Does anyone know of a good rental company, or where to look for decent rentals? Is it on the outskirts of town, sequim, Joyce, what?!

What businesses are needed in PA

My wife and I are looking to move to the area from Florida. It seems there aren’t a lot of jobs there and we currently own a small trucking company, lawn service and bookkeeping businesses. We’re looking for a big change. I’ve been a jack of all trades and would like to find something that would benefit the community instead of just being competition to established local businesses.

The real estate market

Edited to add-I lived here as a teenager. I know the area. I love it here. I wanted to bring my kids to this area to grow up. I have health issues and the colder climates I was in previously to WA were very detrimental to my health.

Why is the real estate market so ridiculous here? The agents seem to control it, and they all seem to have a car salesman mentality. They tell me they won't put in low offers, as they have people coming from California with $$ and willing to pay more than asking. All so they can live here for 6 months out of the year, while I trying to find a community to call home for my family and start a business. Ugh. Truly, it's a horror story trying to buy a rotten home or some land with a shitty manufactured home on it for less than $300k. It's not like this in other counties. Why is Clallam SO AWFUL? I've been in WA for 90 days searching, and I can't afford it anymore. I don't know what to do, but am at the point of just driving to other states. Even the short term rentals here are insane, and I can't find anyone to do a month to month lease!!

Safe(ish) hills for running

Hello,

Not sure if any of y'all are runners, but I was curious if anyone knew of a good hill for hill sprints that doesn't have a lot of car traffic? I usually run with my dog and I have 45 sec to 90 sec hill sprints scheduled for this week. Bonus points if it's near Civic field.

Thanks!

Why do so many people crash cars into buildings in Port Angeles?

Somebody just crashed into the Shell/Road Runner Food Mart on Front St. within the week. 8th Street Emporium was driven into earlier this month. The Baby Store downtown still has caution tape up where a car ran into it a few months ago. The smoke shop on First- same deal.

And they're not even all drunk! We've had road rage crashes, elderly driver crashes - all into buildings. I've never seen anything like this in any state/town I've lived in. What the heck is going on??
