Great forest hiking, beaches, RV camping, and historic military fort. We like the Canteen and the Marine Science Center Museum and touch tanks! Be sure to explore the bunkers.
The annual Port Townsend Film Festival will be taking place over our wedding weekend, with outdoor movies and lots of great films, shorts, and talks to attend. This takes place in downtown Port Townsend, so it'll be bustling and accommodations and parking could be limited. We recommend getting lodging booked early because of this.
