Port Townsend

Built around a sheltered deep-water harbour on Port Townsend Bay, Port Townsend grew into a 19th-century seaport and is now the seat of Jefferson County. Facing Admiralty Inlet at the northeastern end of the Olympic Peninsula, it looks across the waters that link Puget Sound with the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Port Townsend Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District, retains commercial buildings and residences from the town’s maritime boom. Nearby Fort Worden State Park occupies a former U.S. Army coastal-defence post.
