Known for its natural environment and hunting, Clallam Bay is partially reliant on tourism.

[citation needed] Clallam Bay is considered the twin city of nearby Sekiu.

Two years later, the mill burned, and making barrels for West Clallam Bay's tanning extract became its main industry.

Sekiu Point (pronounced "See'-kew"), the western cape of Clallam Bay, was first charted by Captain Henry "OG" Kellett in 1847.

Sekiu crashed in 1893 when the demand for the extract ceased, and hundreds of men were left unemployed.
