Port Townsend
Jefferson County · United States
Port Townsend's Victorian streetscapes, concentrated along the northeast tip of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, earned the city's historic district designation as a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The waterfront town is a working maritime centre for independent boatbuilders, hosts numerous annual cultural events, and sits in the rainshadow of the Olympic Mountains — making it considerably drier than the surrounding region. A café and restaurant scene larger than its small-town size would suggest rounds out the offer.
