Settled by pioneers in the 1800s, Lilliwaup was put on the map in 1890 by explorer, Joseph O’Neil, when he aimed to discover a route from Hood Canal to the Pacific Ocean. Although his team couldn’t find what they were seeking in the Olympics, O’Neil advocated for the Olympic National Park. In the tiny hamlet enjoy Olympic Mountain Ice Cream at the Lililiwaup General Store and, just down the road, fresh oysters at Hama Hama Oyster Co.
