Visiting Port Townsend for a getaway weekend. It is a very historic town with many buildings from the Victorian period when it was the main port in the Northwest. That changed when the railroad didn't come all the way there, and Seattle became the main shipping port.
A paper mill saved the town, providing employment and it is still making corrugated cardboard.
It also still has a thriving boat building dry dock.
We stayed in the Starrett House (Air B&B) which was completed in 1898 by a boat builder. The home has been carefully restored and refurbished and was like stepping back a century.
