Port Townsend

Port Townsend, located at the northernmost point of the Olympic Peninsula, is about 40 miles across Puget Sound from Seattle. Regarding art, history, and natural beauty, this lovely coastal town has quite a reputation. When you combine the picturesque stores with the waterfront views, Port Townsend's aesthetics stand alone as a great reason to visit.

Two National Landmark Historic Districts may be found in Port Townsend, and many of the city's buildings still feature the original Victorian craftsmanship from the late 19th century. The city's port and ancient streets serve as venues for a variety of cultural events. The Shipwrights' Regatta in February, the Port Townsend Film Festival in September, and the weekly Farmers Market held every Saturday from April through December are noteworthy events. The region offers a variety of chances for outdoor recreation in addition to the nearly weekly cultural attractions. Cycling along the coast, boating and fishing in Port Townsend Bay, and camping next to Fort Worden State Park are all popular activities in this city. A great base camp for visiting the nearby Olympic National Park is Port Townsend.
