Our Story
A Port Angeles Tradition Since 1955
1955
The Beginning
Bill and Shirley Traylor acquired the business — then a small drive-in burger stand called "The Flying Saucer" — from Shirley's grandparents, Al and Ethel Ramsdell. Bill worked the grill, Shirley waited tables, and the couple lived in a trailer parked right in the lot. Over time they grew the stand into "Traylor's Flying Saucer," later shortened to simply Traylor's.
1998
The Next Generation
Bill and Shirley's daughter Julie and her husband Bob took over the restaurant, carrying its traditions forward for the next generation of Port Angeles families. Bill passed away in 2001, and Shirley in 2019 — but the restaurant they built kept its doors open every day.
Today
Honoring the Tradition — Building the Future
María and Sam now carry Traylor's forward, committed to honoring Bill and Shirley's legacy while modernizing the restaurant to improve quality and service. They're deeply grateful to the loyal customers, visitors and community who've helped Traylor's celebrate nearly 70 years of history — and counting.
