My Port Townsend – A City in Photographs

Safeway's olive bar

Don’t exactly know why I took this photo. It’s in the Port Townsend Safeway. I guess I was hungry. The food does look good.

Photo of house boat construction in Port Townsend's Boat Haven

This thing is supposed to float

I’ve been watching this craft being constructed for several months now. It’s a floating boat. The concrete at the bottom of the craft is hollow and supposedly will keep the house floating. It doesn’t seem like this would work, but there’s a lot of money getting paid for the construction. I think that this is only technically a boat.

Crocuses starting to show

It seems early, but here are some crocuses showing their heads. They should flower by March 1.

Photo of lake west of Port Townsend

Panorama of unnamed lake

West of Port Townsend, across the road from Discover Bay Golf Course sits this unofficial lake. Every once in a while the lake evaporates and the land becomes cow pasture. That hasn’t happened in quite a while.

Morning Deliveries

Morning Deliveries

There are no alleys for delivery trucks to access Downtown Port Townsend, so the trucks park in the middle of Water Street. This photo was taken just before the stores opened.

A Shell of a Corner Store

Photo of burned out Port Townsend corner store

No longer the corner store

This old building sits at the corner of F and San Juan Streets. A fire gutted the structure and blackberries reach out to overwhelm the structure. Several people have wanted to build on the corner but economic conditions halted the plans.

Twilight at the Boat Haven

Port Townsend's Boat Haven at dusk

The sky turns dark. The tide rolls out. The lights from the Boat Haven punctuate the gloom.
