Port Townsend

Justice building built in the late 1800's

...again we lucked out and were able to stay at the Tourist Information booth, right downtown in a very quiet spot, with a backdrop of west coast shrubbery!

In the morning we got the bike and scooter out and buzzed around viewing many of the old mansions, and scouting out the shops in the historic port area.  The town is almost 150 years old, and many of the building reflect the Victorian architecture of the era.  Much of the old town has been restored to the point where it is a must for anyone who likes to visit a small town in a "time warp".  Check out some of the pictures.

There is a huge military presence here.  The military buildings date back a hundred years!  The film "Officer and a Gentleman" was filmed in many of the military areas and buildings of the town.

Ross Dam was a 1/2 way stop on our way to Port Townsend.  The hike down to the dam site was very "West Coast"  with numerous streams, and big trees and mossy soil cover.



..like the little place so much we stayed another day.
