Port Townsend at a Glance
Port Townsend has a strong marine heritage and prides itself on the preservation
of this history. The unique charm of Port Townsend is accentuated by numerous
bed and breakfasts, cottages and smaller lodgings to accommodate travelers. These
accommodations are an ideal jump-off point for boat tours, museum visits and shopping
at the local farmers' market. Port Townsend is known for its collection of historic
buildings, which have been restored and preserved in order to educate present
generations with regard to the town's beginnings. One piece of local history that
has enjoyed a resurgence is the Port
Townsend Brewing Company, the first microbrewery in the area since 1916. A
tasting room and tours of the brewing process are offered. Anderson
Lake State Park, located eight miles south of Port Townsend, provides an array
of recreational activities, including hiking, biking, fishing and bird watching.
