Port Townsend Leader

Jefferson County residents spend 52% of their total shopping dollars outside the County and make an average of 3.4 shopping trips to Silverdale per month. Selection and price are the two primary reasons why they shop in nearby Kitsap County.  Ranking high on the list of consumables are clothing, shoes, furniture and consumer electronics.

Port Townsend was a major seaport in the 1800s, and most of that era’s original architecture has remained. Port Townsend is one of only three Victorian seaports in the U.S. on the National Historic Register. The community of Port Townsend is as varied as the geography that surrounds it. From recreation in the Olympic Mountains to drama at the downtown theater, the reflection of life here is both connected to the land and to the people. It is an eclectic community of artists, long-time residents, boat folks, and those looking to avoid the standard cookie-cutter place to live. The politics are contentious, because everyone is right, of course. The music and theater scene are thriving, and there are many hidden gems in the visual arts, writing and poetry of the area.
