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 theatre, the reflection of life here is both connected to the land and to the people. Discovery Bay, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Port Townsend Bay surround the city as it sits at the northeast end of the Quimper Peninsula. It is an eclectic community of artists, long-time residents, boat folks and those looking to avoid standard cookie-cutter places. The music and theatre scene are thriving, and there are many hidden gems in the visual arts, writing and poetry of the area. (www.porttownsend.com)
