Port Townsend is essentially a tourist attraction because it promotes a theme of preservation to draw people to the city. When people arrive, they expect to experience the history of the Pacific Northwest and a taste of the Victorian era. The town reinvents the environment as themed entertainment to satisfy the tourists.
Several of the buildings have been restored and “kept up” including, the Bell Tower, Manresa Castle, City Hall, the Courthouse, and the Post Office. During the middle 19th century the sudden increase in population of Port Townsend required a demand for more homes that catered to the middle class.[15] With the Native population becoming decimated by small pox, measles, and other diseases transmitted by contact with white explorers, there was more opportunity to build additional Victorian style homes, being that Victorian was the popular style at the time.
The sign entering town calls Port Townsend a "Victorian Seaport and Arts Community." Port Townsend is host to several annual events such as the Wooden Boat Festival, Kinetic Skulpture Race, and the annual blues and jazz festival.
Boating and maritime life are central cultural elements in this port town, with regattas, weekly races and a multitude of recreational opportunities. The marine trades industry is an anchor economic driver for the community, with highly skilled, world-renowned trades people. The port is home to many classic wooden boats, and gets visits from many others seeking repairs.
By and large an artist haven, downtown there are many galleries and two artist collectives.There is a strong monthly Arts Walk and a plethora of classes, workshop and trainings.
Port Townsend also holds a growing independent film festival in September.
The Rose Theatre is a cinema downtown which shows contemporary American and foreign films. There is also the Uptown Theater, showing more family-oriented films, and a nearby drive-in theater is open during the summer months.
Fort Worden State Park is home to a number of cultural organizations and venues. Centrum (arts organization) is a culture and art organization that hosts a multitude of concerts, festivals and workshops at Fort Worden. These include Fiddle Tunes, Blues, Jazz, Voice, Chamber Music, and much more. Copper Canyon Press, the poetry press, is located here, as are Goddard College, Madrona Mindbody Institute, Olympic Hostel, Peninsula College, Port Townsend Marine Science Center, Port Townsend School of Woodworking, and the Third Ear Project.
