Agnew is a small, quiet community in Washington State, United States. It's not a city with its own government, but rather an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are not part of an official city or town. Agnew is located in Clallam County, near the town of Sequim and the city of Port Angeles. It sits right along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a large body of water connecting to the Pacific Ocean.
Agnew was first settled around 1875 by a person named Charles Agnew. Before it got its current name, it was known by other names like "De Fuca" and "Wildcat Valley." The community officially became "Agnew" in 1920. It also brought together two smaller former towns, Reeveton and Lindsay, into one area.
