5 /5 Doug Hilo: We have visited Port Townsend several times over past 14 years and it steadily evolves, there are hard core boatyards that haul and repair boats, it has a cute old historic town worth several hours strolling, farmers markets, Deer wandering around and the ferries leaving for places across the sound. It is also the North Gateway to Olympic Peninsular which while a long drive to Westport is well worth it...Leave early.
