Candelaria Industries Announces Interest in Former McKinley Mill Property

Port Angeles, Washington — June 15, 2026

Candelaria Industries LLC, a Washington-based ownership group led by Rob Janicki, has reached an agreement to acquire the property located at 1902 Marine Dr, Port Angeles, WA, subject to customary governmental consents and approvals.

Candelaria is evaluating opportunities to return the legacy industrial property to productive use, including potential reuse of existing infrastructure and uses already allowed or permitted at the site. No final redevelopment plan has been determined.

“This is a significant legacy industrial property with existing infrastructure, and we are still in the early due diligence stage. Our focus right now is understanding what is feasible, what is appropriate for the site, and how any future redevelopment would move forward through the required review, permitting, and public process.”
— – Rob Janicki, Founder, Candelaria Industries

Any future use requiring new or modified approvals would be subject to the appropriate environmental review, permitting, public process, and independent or third-party review/certification where required or appropriate.

Candelaria looks forward to working with the property owner, local government agencies, tribal governments, community stakeholders, and the broader Port Angeles community.
