PORT TOWNSEND, Washington The quaint city of Port Townsend has a population of 8,000 and is one of only three Victorian Seaports on the National Historic Register. Port Townsend is located in the "rain shadow" of the Olympic Mountains and thus has only 17” of rain a year. The residential area above downtown with its preserved Victorian homes (like the one pictured here) and the downtown mostly brick buildings are designated a National Historic District. Live in a Victorian home on the hill above town and keep your boat in one of the two marinas that have a total of over 500 slips and lots of marine services, craftsmen and supplies. Bring your boat or buy one when you get here! Great area for wood boat maintenance and repairs.
