Historical hotel
Beautiful historical hotel, the rooms were comfortable, the bed too and we liked the vintage style fridge. Because this is a historical building the walls are very thin and you can hear everything! I'd give it a higher rating but the thin walls were an annoyance. Also, no AC in the unit.

Fort Worden State Park

4.5/5(132 reviews)

You can take time to visit Fort Worden State Park during your travels to Port Townsend. Wander the waterfront and beautiful beaches in the area.

Fort Worden State Park
An inveterate fantasm purportedly haunts this house, or at least one of its windows. When viewed just right from about one spot on the entire planet, the first dark window you see to the right of the central structure appears to reveal a woman sitting in her chair. To the more jaded eye, it would seem that a large flaw in the ancient glass happens to line up very nicely with a large, stuffed chair directly behind the window. No matter. People come from miles around to scare the bejeezus out of themselves by lining up precisely where the apparition can see them and shrieking in delight. However, few of them will actually stay at the "boutique hotel" contained within. Which is probably why the owner is looking to sell it. If you like company, but are not overly fond of money, you might drop by and make him an offer.

Rose Theatre
Again, this is is really called the Jefferson Museum of Art and History, but, to-may-to, to-mah-to, take your pick. A nice turn-of-the-century brick building with some art deco flourishes which add a certain playfulness to the design.
