r/PortTownsend

We are renting an Air BnB this coming week in Discovery Bay and have a bunch of open time in our schedule.
We have been to PT several times and really enjoy it there.

While we certainly have not seen or explored everything in PT or on the east side (Hadlock/Marrowstone/Ludlow) we have been through there for a few picnics too.

Instead of driving all over, at least one day we would like to look around Discovery Bay.
Online resources would make it appear that our exploration would take 15 minutes 😅

Where to go, what to do ,etc in the DB area?

I’m currently transferring to NAS whidbey Island From PSNS in Bremerton. Is it necessary to make a reservation for the port Townsend to Coupeville ferry during the week?? Even for the earliest ferry at around 06:00 am?? I’ll most likely be commuting daily until I find a place on the Island.

Hey PT! I lived there when I was 18-20 years old from 2002 - 2004.

I’m going to pass through on July 15 after a work trip to see what’s changed. I’m looking for tips on which hotel to stay at, and ideas for things to do and places to eat Saturday afternoon & Sunday morning.

For context, I worked at the Salal Cafe. I hung around the boiler room, food co-op, and the Rose. Spent a lot of time between the bookstore & record store.

I’ve only been back once, and ended up making the front page of the paper for a totally unauthorized silly Olympics through downtown. That was probably 20 years ago. Now I’m an old, boring stranger visiting a place that used to be home.

Hey everyone! We're camping nearby at Fort Townsend State Park and will come into Port Townsend on July 4th. We were thinking of going to the farmer's market on Saturday, but wondering if there are any other events going on that I can take a 3yo and 1yo to?

Hello, I recently moved to Port Townsend and I was wondering where the gays and theys hang out??

I’ve never been. But I’m drawn to Port Townsend for some reason. My family lived in Seattle for quite sometime when I was in my teens, but overall I have no idea what it’s like to live there or anywhere in WA for that matter. I’m middle aged with a family, I grew up in Colorado and have been living in Topanga, CA for the last 15 years. I miss Colorado but I don’t want to go back. I miss seasons. I miss pine trees and I also want to keep the ocean. 🤠 What’s your favorite thing about Port Townsend?
