- Title: Port Townsend
- Description: By the early 1880s, this small outpost was on the verge of becoming a great city. Many shipmasters and boat captains built beautiful mansions, thus contributing to the gentrification of the community. On December 5, 1927, a delegation representing the Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce urged the Port Commission to develop a boat harbor. Local citizens had been advocating the building of a small harbor to better accommodate small boats and fishing vessels for several years. On March 18, 1931, the proposal for building the new harbor submitted by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company was accepted, and the first pile was soon driven into the bottom of Port Townsend Bay. A separate shopping district has developed uptown, along with lovely churches, schools, hospitals and parks. The Jefferson County court house and post office show prominently on the hill above the harbor.
