Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, WA

Perched on the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula, and located in the Victorian seaport community of Port Townsend, Fort Worden State Park - a turn of the century army base - offers an unmatched combination of natural beauty and historic interest. Acres of saltwater beaches, wooded hills, and open fields are framed by stunning vistas of the Olympic a

nd Cascade mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the fir-shrouded islands that extend northwards into Canada. Renovated Fort buildings - including classrooms, cabins, dormitories, and performance and studio spaces - serve as a place to relax, take new risks, recharge, and return to the world renewed, perhaps even transformed, by the experience of this community and this place. Located two hours northwest of Seattle (including a scenic ferry ride), Port Townsend has long been home to writers, musicians, artists, and artisans. The historic downtown is home to vibrant shops, cafes, and waterfront dining; and historic uptown boasts some of the best-preserved Victorian mansions in the country.
