Sandra White: Washington: Port Townsend: Fort Worden

This area is full of wonderful music all summer long, with every type of music you can think of. 

Beginning in July there is Fiddle Tunes, Chamber Music Festival, Jazz Festival and Blues Festival.  Most are performed at the Centrum Campus at Fort Worden, with some of the local clubs hosting performances in the clubs.  Great music and great fun.

Also, the Olympic Music Festival beginning in July and continuing every weekend, Classical Concerts in the Barn. 

There is also some fun music at the Saturday Farmers Market, and last Sat. it was one of my favorites, the Limpopo Band. 

Every Wed. you can catch the "Music at the Dock" show, with local bands and dancing in the street.

You will see this little guy mostly out for a swim, playing in the water, but occasionally they are walking down the sidewalk, or warming themselves on the beach.  They like to hang out on the boat docks and ramps especially on sunny afternoons.  There is a wonderful painting in one of the shops of otters crossing the street in Port Townsend, and we have a restaurant named "The Otter Crossing".  They are really a fun sight.  

A great way to stay in Port Townsend is to rent a cottage. There are over one hundred rental cottages in Port Townsend. Mostof them sleep four or more guests and have all the comfort and amenities of being at home. Unpack just once and set up your office, kitchen and living area as though you were at home.

With easy parking for many cars and close proximity to historic Fort Worden, the Birdnest Cottageshown above is a favorite destination for travelers needing short or extended stays. The kitchen has absolutely everything a gourmet cook would need to feed a large group. There is directv, broadband internet, upgraded furniture and two private outdoor deck with a view of the water and light house.

A smaller property located at F and Cherry Street,  "Almost Uptown Cottage" is adjacent to the Port Townsend Municipal golf course and is convenient for walking almost anywhere in the city. This modern cottage has wood floors, front loading washer and dryer, directv upstairs and downstairs, a high definition dvd player with a widescreen television and a modern kitchen with a glass top stove.

This unit has a private driveway and is secluded from the road. Many designer touches and upgrades make this cottage very comfortable for two to four people.
