In a state brimming with charming coastal communities, Port Townsend stands out as a unique destination. From its Victorian structures to its vital and quirky artistic culture, the town is a perfect stop for a weekend exploration or a base camp for staging your forays into the Olympic Peninsula. Situated in the northeast corner of the Olympic Peninsula, Port Townsend enjoys easy access to sound and strait, so coastal exploration couldn't be easier. Warm and dry summers are the norm because the town is located in the Olympic rain shadow; likewise, while winters can get chilly, the dreary rain that settles in around many other Pacific Northwest towns is less omnipresent here. Come in the off season to appreciate a slower pace and catch some solo time on the beaches, and hit Port Townsend in the summer or fall to enjoy the vibrant festivals and absolutely perfect weather. Here are a few great reasons to visit one of Washington's most interesting coastal towns:
