Port Townsend is "hip, funky, eclectic and creative. It has nearly half the rainfall of Seattle. It routinely serves up the trifecta of Northwest eye candy--pretty sailboats, pretty water, pretty snow-covered mountains. It's small, with friends, services and stores within arm's reach." (Eric Sorenson, The Seattle Times, March 2, 2006)

From the late spring to early fall, festivals abound celebrating the blues, brews, jazz, chamber music, May Day, fiddle, film, rhododendron, and wooden boats. For a full calendar of Port Townsend's festivals and events visit the PT Guide online. Many festivals and events are hosted by Centrum at Fort Worden, a state park in Port Townsend.
