Seaport Village

THE PICTURESQUE SEAPORT VILLAGE of Port Townsend, Washington is the perfect place to hang our hats for a couple of days. With a population around 10,000, we found the welcoming locals and shops, an abundance of sunshine, and the very bike-able town a truly unexpected surprise. (Bill, Dean & Debbie, thank you for your recommendation!) Overlooking Puget Sound, Port Townsend is known as the ‘Key City’ which guarded the gate of the Sound. From our lovely campsite overlooking the water, we saw ferries shuttle people/cars from port to port, kayakers, Naval ships and everyday boaters. There is a family of seven otters that come ashore daily near our campsite to play in the grass. Home to many 19th century ship captains, the remnants of their time spent here can be found in a number of preserved Victorian homes. The Court House, built in 1892, is another example of the local architecture. Port Townsend is truly a beautiful slice of heaven to call home. If you happen to visit, be sure to stop by Elevated Ice Cream. Who can pass up home made ice cream, right! A couple of handscooped pints were added to our freezer
