Love of the Woody

Dedicated to learning, building, restoring, preserving and enjoying wooden boats of all kinds, the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Foundation has been responsible, with cooperation from the whole community, for sponsoring an annual boat festival that has become one of largest and best known in the country. Even if you're not a boating enthusiast, it's great fun. PT attracts visitors year round for many and varied events and festivals, but none so grand as the Wooden Boat Festival's four days in September, when this little town of seven or eight thousand, joined by thousands of visitors from far and near, comes alive with non-stop programs, events, music, dancing and feasting in a veritable celebration of boats, the arts and the good life.
