John Wayne Marina, featured in the June 2003 issue of SEA Magazine as “Best of the West” for small marinas, was constructed in 1985 on 22 acres of land donated by the John Wayne family. John Wayne frequented Sequim Bay waters aboard the family yacht – the “Wild Goose” – and prior to his death envisioned a marina in the scenic bay. Eventually, this vision became reality under the ownership and auspices of the Port of Port Angeles.

John Wayne was born as Marion Robert Morrison in Winterset, Iowa on May 26, 1907. With the addition of his little brother, Robert Emmet Morrison, his name was changed to Marion Michael Morrison. His father, Clyde, was a pharmacist diagnosed with Tuberculosis in 1912. He decided to move his family to Palmdale in southern California. There he bought an 80-acre homestead and they tried ranching. But they couldn't quite make ends meet, so in 1916, they moved the family once more.
