The Port Townsend Rhody Festival features a fun event held on Thursday of the festival which brings out a lot of spectators and pet lovers.  People register their pet in the appropriate group, and then march about 4 blocks with pets in buggy, arms, or on a leash.  We had a beautiful sunny day this year with a nice cool breeze.  Prizes went to best costumes.  All looked adorable.

Port Townsend is experiencing our first real spring weather this week, and just in time for our wonderful Rhody festival.  Always a great reason to spend a few days in this charming Victorian Seaport Village.  The festival  was started in 1935 when a local businessman contacted the Hearst News Organization with an idea to film the rhododendrons in bloom as a part of their "short subjects" popular in movie theaters in those days.  The business community then organized a Queen competition to have a group of young women in the photos.  The townspeople could vote by spending money at local participating merchants.  The following year the American Legion liked the enthusiasm generated by the event and decided to go forward with an annual event which became the Rhody Festival we enjoy today. ...

On April 29th there will be a tour of the available commercial/retail space available for lease or sale in the Historic Uptown district.  There are approximately 28 - 30 vacant storefronts in Port Townsend right now , and several empty buildings.  This is a great time to start your own business, or move or enlarge  your existing business with rents low and many choices available, and perks such as free rent for several months, or other incentives.  The tour begins at Mount Baker Block Building at 213 Taylor Street at 4 PM.

The Cracker Factory, built in 1880, will be one of the stars of this year's AAUW (American Association of University Women) Kitchen Tour.  This downtown artists loft will be worth the price of the ticket to the show, scheduled for Sat. April 30th at 10:00 AM.  The proceeds of this tour will go toward local education projects. This wonderful small building located down a small alley way off Washington Street in Port Townsend had been sorely neglected before my clients purchased in in 2008.  This couple is in the business of decorating and really did a number on this wonderful old bit of Port Townsend history.  I was lucky enough to have a private tour and could not imagine this place could ever look so great.  The character has been maintained with the original brick, incredibly high cei...
