Port Townsend

Key attractions include the historic downtown district with its Victorian architecture, Fort Worden State Park (featuring historic military installations and stunning views), the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, and the many art galleries and studios.

Outdoor activities abound, including hiking, biking, kayaking, whale watching, beachcombing, and exploring the many parks and trails in the surrounding area. Fort Worden State Park offers a variety of recreational opportunities.

The best time to visit is during the spring and summer months (May to September) when the weather is typically mild and sunny, and many festivals and events are taking place. However, the fall offers beautiful foliage and fewer crowds.
