Larry mentioned the Port Wilson Lighthouse in Port Townsend. The lighthouse is a private residence but in a very historical location and only a short ferry ride away from Admiralty Head. Port Wilson is located at Fort Worden state park, an old coastal fortress. The victorian homes that were once Officer's row have been restored and are available for rent.

Port Townsend has a seafaring history. It was once larger than Seattle. The museum there has an interesting display on the practice of shanghiing sailors (and non sailors) to man the ships.

I've enjoyed reading this forum the last week. Iris and Larry have offered such descriptive and informative advice I want to jump in my car and go. Unfortunately, I have this pesky little interference called work.
