Forestry and fishing were a main stay of the economy and in the late 1800s, the Olympic Forest Reserve was instituted. By 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt established Mt. Olympus National Monument and in 1937 Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt founded Olympic National Park.

Today, service jobs along with government institutions, the National Park Service, the Coast Guard, hospitals and the schools make up the job sector.
