Queets is an unincorporated community in western Jefferson County, Washington, United States. It is near the coast of the Pacific Ocean, located just north of the Grays Harbor County county line along the Queets River, at the northern edge of the Quinault Indian Reservation. The community is primarily inhabited by Native Americans of the Quinault Indian Nation. Queets now consists of several homes, a store, gas station, fisheries, daycare, Head Start, and a remote office for the Tribe. The only road access, U.S. Highway 101, crosses the Queets River in Queets, approximately 5 miles south of Kalaloch Beach. The nearest airport is in Forks, 28 miles to the north.
Other local attractions include the Pacific Beach hiking trails, the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest.
The post office at Queets was established July 13, 1880, and finally discontinued July 31, 1934, with mail to Clearwater, approximately 12 miles away.[1]
