An intriguing experience
"This is an older building that has been renovated but it still has the charm of an older building. Lots of wood and high ceilings. It was inexpensive and for the money it was great. It is a couple of miles from downtown Pt Townsend so it is a long walk. The bar and restaurant were lively at night. ..."

Port Townsend Marine Science Center
An inveterate fantasm purportedly haunts this house, or at least one of its windows. When viewed just right from about one spot on the entire planet, the first dark window you see to the right of the central structure appears to reveal a woman sitting in her chair. To the more jaded eye, it would seem that a large flaw in the ancient glass happens to line up very nicely with a large, stuffed chair directly behind the window. No matter. People come from miles around to scare the bejeezus out of themselves by lining up precisely where the apparition can see them and shrieking in delight. However, few of them will actually stay at the "boutique hotel" contained within. Which is probably why the owner is looking to sell it. If you like company, but are not overly fond of money, you might drop by and make him an offer.

Ann Starrett Mansion

Rose Theatre
Again, this is is really called the Jefferson Museum of Art and History, but, to-may-to, to-mah-to, take your pick. A nice turn-of-the-century brick building with some art deco flourishes which add a certain playfulness to the design.
