Anniversary ideas for a young couple!

Howdy yall, my wife and I are celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary and have decided to spend Friday-Sunday in PT! The biggest thing we are doing is getting some tin-type photographs taken locally (Cape George) and exploring Fort Worden. But our anniversary is Friday and I was wondering if yall could recommend any nice restaurants? I've read a lot about Alchemy and Ichikawa, but are there any other nice, slow restaurants where the environment is calm and is slightly upscale? Of course, if we wanted fancy fancy dining, we would have planned a trip to Seattle, but we are looking for something more than a pub, which is the plan for Saturday night.

Any and all recommendations would be great, and any other must tries while we are visitng. We will also be thrifting and antiquing when we can.

RIP racoon

Poor local raccoon, had bad luck crossing the intersection of 20th and Discovery last night.

I found him on the side of the road, laying in the grass. He wasn't even busted up. Poor little guy.

It may have been the same raccoon that checks out my garden every night and leaves little raccoon muddy footprints on my patio.

I'm sorry you had bad luck last night little dude.

Hey if anyone is going to be in the PNW this Saturday, Port Townsend is having a Japanese Woodworking Festival put on by the PT woodworking school. There will be talks, demos and the entire event is free. I’ll be going and doing a talk on apprenticeship realities and doing some quick chisel sharpening demos with some modern techniques I picked up in Japan. Let me know if you will be going and please come say hi.

Chimacum Granary Hiring a miller!!

This is a dynamic operation and this is a dynamic role! We provide training for many essential skills and functions related to grain milling, production and processing. Join us if you’re excited to learn, do many different things in a day, work hard and well with others, and make good food happen.

https://chimacumgrain.com/jobs

The position starts at 16-20 hours per week, with an hourly wage of $23-26/hr depending on experience. We do not provide health benefits.   PTO/sick leave offered per WA state guidelines.

****

My opinion: the lack of healthcare offered by the Granary is disappointing and unsurprising. This little company likely operates right at the edge of going out of business most months & is a labor of love.

I don’t work at the granary. I just heard that a local company has a job opening.

MEADOW UPDATE

(Kill your lawn) Smothered my grass, raked it out and threw down seeds. The area has been blooming (sparsely) since spring. Thinking I got a really great seed mix. Every week a new variety starts blooming as the first ones fade. This is this week's addition; a blossom like a hibiscus, some in white, some in pink. #killyourlawn
