Seattle Vacation Ideas

I’ve been pretty busy lately and the thought of slipping away quietly for the weekend is becoming more and more appealing.  Right now, I’d love to hop on a boat and head over to Port Townsend, a charming little town on the Kitsap Peninsula with a great Victorian air about it.The town is host to many turn-of-the-century mansions, many of which are now bed and breakfasts.  The town boasts about 9300 residents as of July 2006 and has many near-by daytrip worthy destinations. There is Fort Casey a WWI bunker installation meant to protect Puget Sound from naval or air invasion.  August events include Blues Festival, Jefferson County Fair, Uptown Street Fair, Classic Car Show and more. Jefferson County Court House is one of my favorite buildings, and as I recall, you can climb the bell tower for a great view.
