Would love to see a documentary on the history of PT. This is my hometown. It began with my great grandfather who came here from Sweden in the 1800's.. we're 5 generations now.
Come to Port Townsend to discover your art whether it be writing, painting, quilting, beading, or furniture making. We have many businesses with supplies and inspiration for you to create your art. I know, my bead shop, Wynwoods Gallery has been here for 23 years.
It would be wonderful to see a video that looks at Port Townsend history prior to the late 19th century. Let's honor the truths of this place, revere Port Townsend's vibrant and vital ancestral wisdom, the history, culture and ecology of these beautiful traditional territories. Recognize and respect the sovereignty of the indigenous nəxʷsƛ̕áy̕əm̕ (S’Klallam) and t͡ʃə́mqəm (Chemakum), Chinese immigrants as well as all beings from the shorelines and seas, to the skies, mountains and valleys who call this place home. Personally, I am grateful for our interconnected, interdependent histories and stories, and trust our living legacies as guides in our work to help us heal the harm of displacement, discrimination and persecution caused by centuries of patriarchal white supremacy executed through empire, colonization and imperialism. Let us collectively and individually act. Act to remember and to make reparations. Act for accountability and atonement. Please, let us not settle. Instead, let us faithfully strive together for a more just, free and equitable society, for a more joyous, loving and peaceful community with brighter futures for us all. Shalom.
You do! It was a wild town. It’s known as “The city that whiskey built.” Water street was bar after bar. And brothel after brothel. Lol I lived in one of those buildings and worked in another one. Lots of haunted buildings here. They would get the guys drunk and Shanghai them in tunnels out to sea. The tunnels have been closed up now. Those same tunnels brought merchandise in to the shops. The “wild” people stayed down on Water street, while the “good” ones stayed uptown on Lawrence Street. The Indians were here first and were made to relocate. There was a Chinese community as well who helped build the railroad. Until that whole area burned down so they had to relocate as well. There are so many stories. Good and bad. It’s a great place to visit. Fort Worden is my favorite! Beautiful and a great walk up and into where the old bunkers are. (Officer and a Gentleman was filmed there and at the paper mill.) Flashlights necessary! Scary and fun to walk/run through the cement rooms.
