Located on the Olympic Peninsula and served daily by auto/passenger ferries from Keystone on Whidbey Island, this popular seaport is a Designated National Historic Landmark.

As the main port of entry to Puget Sound in the late 1800s, Port Townsend enjoyed an economic stability that encouraged many of its residents to build large, extravagant mansions on the hill overlooking the water.
