My lovely Wife and I spent 2 nights in Port Townsend this week... an area we have been through a number of times on our way out to the ocean beaches. We decided it was time to do some in depth explorations near the earliest euro-American city in Washington established April of 1851.
68 miles of travel got us to the ferry dock at Coupeville, $18.25 got us on the boat for a 35 minute cruise to the Olympic Peninsula. First order of business Fort Warden just south of town, one of the "Triangle of Fire" forts built to protect the Puget Sound from invasion of those crazy Brits.
