Port Townsend, the Victorian seaport on the Olympic Peninsula, hosts an arts calendar of national significance thanks to Centrum, the organization based at Fort Worden State Park that runs acclaimed workshops and festivals for acoustic blues, fiddle tunes, jazz, and writing each summer. The Wooden Boat Festival each September is the largest of its kind in North America, filling Point Hudson with masts, music, and maritime craft. The town's 1890s brick downtown hosts galleries, theaters, and pubs with live music year-round. Few towns of 10,000 anywhere offer this density of festivals — fewer still with ferry-and-mountain views in every direction.
