Kristin Jackson, the NWTravel Editor for the Seattle Times, recently spent a weekend here in Port Townsend, and wrote an informative summary for travelers looking for a weekend getaway in the Seattle area.
“Port Townsend has all the right stuff for an easygoing weekend getaway.

And Port Townsend has something fun for everyone, from the thriving Northwest Maritime Center and a local history museum to a lively music, art, literary and theater scene.”
