Port Townsend Accommodations

Home
Up

Port Townsend is known for its Victorian Bed & Breakfasts scattered throughout the town.  While Port Townsend was originally a major international seaport, today is it a revitalized small town, nestled between the Olympic mountains and the water. Because the city fathers have chosen to keep the town as authentic and scenic as possible, there are very few motels and hotels for the many summer visitors.  Therefore, it is suggested that you make your hotel accommodations immediately.

Port Townsend has a great website to help find accommodations, things-to-do, and places to eat.  The web site is located at Port Townsend Web.  The Seattle Times had a recent article on B&B's in Port Townsend that also contains some tips. To give you a better idea of location and proximity for these accommodations, check out the Port Townsend Lodging map containing the following inns and hotels.
