About Port Townsend
Port Townsend is the second oldest town in Washington State and one of only three national historic seaports in the United States. Port Townsend provides an excellent hub for exploring the Olympic Peninsula's mountains, wilderness areas, rain forests, and wild beaches, as well as Whidbey Island, the San Juan Islands, Seattle, and Victoria, Canada. The area is renowned for its restored Victorian architecture, artist communities, galleries, fine restaurants, beautiful parks, clamming beaches, hiking trails, and complete access to all sea sports.
This "Victorian Seaport and Arts Community" provides a haven for artists and craftsmen, musicians and writers with annual festivals drawing devotees and enthusiasts from around the world.
