This
Victorian port town is artsy, and is known for its music festivals.
Several fine Victorian mansions and homes overlook the quaint
downtown. The movie An Officer and a Gentleman was
filmed here. Downtown parking is at a premium during the
busiest hours, but the town is not large, so you will not have to park far
from the shops. The cafes, galleries, shops, and Historical Society museum are on Water Street.
You will find fine arts and crafts as well as standard tourist fare.
Of course,
any visit to the Olympic Peninsula should include Olympic National Park if
time permits. |

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
