Discover Sekiu, Washington, a premier fishing destination nestled on the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula. Known for its world-class salmon and halibut fisheries, Sekiu offers sheltered waters in the Strait of Juan de Fuca with breathtaking coastal scenery. This legendary area is celebrated for its robust Chinook runs from early July to mid-August, followed by acrobatic Coho from mid-August through September, with peak action in late August. Anglers regularly land Coho weighing 7–15 pounds and trophy Chinook exceeding 20 pounds.

Beyond salmon, Sekiu delivers exceptional winter blackmouth fishing and year-round opportunities for halibut and lingcod around Pillar Point and Slip Point. Accessible via marinas in Sekiu and Clallam Bay, these protected waters combine prime fishing with dramatic sea caves, whale watching, and rugged coastal beauty.
