There are very few places left in the world that can truly transport you back in time. Port Townsend is one of them. Nestled on the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, this historic maritime haven feels like a living. Working museum. And when the city is hosting the 2nd largest Wooden Boat Festival in the world, modern life fades away. Fantail yachts, cutter yawls, classic schooners, and wartime workboats fill the marina, then spill out in the harbor the famous Sail By, the finale of the festival.
