Tuesday we spent the afternoon in Port Townsend, an old port city with many Victorian-styled homes from the 1800's. It is a rather small town with 8000 + population. The port is rather protected which made it an up and coming port city. Many houses and stores were built in anticipation of being the largest harbor on the West coast, although this did not happen. Seattle became the great port city with railroad transportation also. They have a driving tour of the city which we did and took pictures along the way. Much architecture has been preserved and brings many tourists to the city. I enjoyed talking to some shop owners.
