Visitors to the historic town of Port Gamble are inundated with historical elements throughout the township. Almost every building in this town contains a historical marker that highlights the history of prior occupants. Each marker stands out nicely on painted burgundy boards and gold lettering. This historic residence contains a marker on the front fence that reads:

1870
DAVID & JOYCE OLSON HOUSE

Lived in this house, 1950-1989
David Olson retired from Pope and Talbot in 1994
after 39-1/2 years of service.
He lived in Port Gamble all his life.

I could find no other pertinent information regarding the history and background of the former owners of this residence.

I DID manage to locate a PDF document of a walking tour of Port Gamble.

This residence, along with the majority of residences and businesses in Port Gamble, is owned by Pope Resources and maintained by Olympic Property Group and many homes and buildings are available for rent/lease throughout the year.
