The Port Townsend Leader Jefferson Land Trust MapQuest Weather Port Townsend is a very special place, one of only two Victorian seaports on the United States' National Historic Register. With the many special shops and fine dining available in our town of about 8,000 full time residents, you might not feel a need to go to the city all that often.
Many homes here offer both mountain and salt water views.
Away from the areas zoned for smaller home lots, most home sites include at least five acres of land. An ideal area for telecommuters and others who are looking for peace and quiet in a rural or small town environment that still has most of the amenities more commonly associated with urban living. If you like your seafood fresh, you can get it right off the boat, although you may prefer to pick it up at the Key City Fish Market in the port, since they'll take care of the cleaning for you. Full moon over the Admiralty Inlet between Port Townsend and Whidbey Island, with the ferry coming toward Port Townsend Bay. Port Townsend's many arts oriented festivals will satisfy your cultural needs, too, and you'll enjoy one of the Northwest's best sound stages at Centrum, located on the ground of the Fort Worden State Park.
