Officers Row at Fort Worden State Park
Located on the northeast corner of the Olympic Peninsula, Port Townsend is steeped in maritime history and Victorian era appeal—one of only three Victorian seaports on the National Register of Historic Places. Dubbed the ”Paris of the Pacific Northwest” by Sunset Magazine, Port Townsend has garnered a national reputation as one of the coolest small towns in America.
A year-round slate of festivals and events offer something for every interest, from film and music, to wooden boats and kinetic sculpture races. Trek nearby beaches and trails, explore seafaring heritage, stroll tree-lined historic streets and eclectic shops and galleries, and get a taste of locally sourced food fresh from the farm and sea.
