History


Diamond Point, established in 1892, was a quarantine station for ships coming into the Puget Sound from outside the United States. Relics of Diamond Point's past remain, including remnants of two docks, a spray house, a utility building, a hospital, and a nurses' quarters. The hospital, the US Quarantine Station Surgeon's building, and nurses' quarters are now private residences. The US Quarantine Station Surgeon's building is listed in the 1989 National Register of Historic Places. 

Diamond Point Airport was established in August 1965, and remains the only airstrip on Miller Peninsula. Below are a sample of articles about the airport that have appeared in The Sequim Gazette, and archival photographs relating to the community.
