Site History

A recent photo of the site.
A recent photo of the site.
This site was operated as a “Kardlock” self-serve fuel station since the late 1960s. The site changed owners several times. Eventually, it was bought by the Port of Port Angeles in 1983, who leased it out to companies selling Pettit Oil products and then Pettit Oil.

There were five underground storage tanks for gasoline and diesel at the station. Pettit Oil stopped operations and removed all service station equipment, including the underground storage tanks, in 1999. Now, the site is paved over and vacant.
