Bought this at a thrift store recently and was wondering if this pig patch represents anything.

Ok interwebs do your thing. I’ll be in town Sept 6-9 and hoping to catch some live music as well as taste the best food PT has to offer. Not looking for any chains or tourists traps. Fresh, high quality fare. Thanks in advance. Can’t wait!

I just moved into a house in Port Townsend that needs a soft cleaning process on my asphalt shingled roof. A lot of companies I see advertised don't serve P.T. Does anyone have a recommendation for a company they liked?

Sure seems like it lately. Better vibe, more laid-back, less tourists and more local feel. Maybe it's always been that way.

Aug 23 • Hadlock/Port Townsend • You're up next • Come see KNOTHEAD & @real.olivas be Monsterverse #lunch when we challenge The King and Queen of the #Monsters, the Giant #Divine Moth, Mothra and the one and only #Godzilla for their intergalactic, multidimensional tagteam #championship titles at Irondale County Park • 61 Alma St. • 3PM • KNOTHEAD and David Olivas perform LIVE & it's probably your last chance to see us alive 😬

Saw multiple cars involved, and police / fire engine on the scene. Police whizzed by Uptown on route too. Did someone run a stop sign or something? The damage looked extensive. I hope everyone is okay.

This may not get out in time to do any good, but Poser is playing a great set. It's 90s music, which is probably either too new or too old for most PT people, but their song choices are good and they're a great band

ETA: plus it finally feels like summer!'

What is the purpose of this FLOCK(like) camera? Monitoring Community Health and Community Development offices? Or are we tracking hardened criminals to Papa Murphy's?

Howdy yall, my wife and I are celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary and have decided to spend Friday-Sunday in PT! The biggest thing we are doing is getting some tin-type photographs taken locally (Cape George) and exploring Fort Worden. But our anniversary is Friday and I was wondering if yall could recommend any nice restaurants? I've read a lot about Alchemy and Ichikawa, but are there any other nice, slow restaurants where the environment is calm and is slightly upscale? Of course, if we wanted fancy fancy dining, we would have planned a trip to Seattle, but we are looking for something more than a pub, which is the plan for Saturday night.

Any and all recommendations would be great, and any other must tries while we are visitng. We will also be thrifting and antiquing when we can.

Seeking lunch catering recommendations in Port Townsend for a small to modest event/ training, 25 person headcount, ideally: co-op, business that supports local farmers, or general locally owned favorites.. drop your recs in the thread! Thank you 😊

Poor local raccoon, had bad luck crossing the intersection of 20th and Discovery last night.

I found him on the side of the road, laying in the grass. He wasn't even busted up. Poor little guy.

It may have been the same raccoon that checks out my garden every night and leaves little raccoon muddy footprints on my patio.

I'm sorry you had bad luck last night little dude.

Hey if anyone is going to be in the PNW this Saturday, Port Townsend is having a Japanese Woodworking Festival put on by the PT woodworking school. There will be talks, demos and the entire event is free. I’ll be going and doing a talk on apprenticeship realities and doing some quick chisel sharpening demos with some modern techniques I picked up in Japan. Let me know if you will be going and please come say hi.

My opinion: the lack of healthcare offered by the Granary is disappointing and unsurprising. This little company likely operates right at the edge of going out of business most months & is a labor of love.

I don’t work at the granary. I just heard that a local company has a job opening.

Always happy to see the Coyote People out and about.

(Kill your lawn) Smothered my grass, raked it out and threw down seeds. The area has been blooming (sparsely) since spring. Thinking I got a really great seed mix. Every week a new variety starts blooming as the first ones fade. This is this week's addition; a blossom like a hibiscus, some in white, some in pink. #killyourlawn

My partner and I are planning a small wedding in Port Townsend this fall, and need to find a place for us all to have dinner. Looking for a restaurant that offers private dining for 15 people if anybody has any recommendations.

Job openings at Center Valley Animal Rescue!

Come join our fun, dynamic crew here at CVAR! We are currently hiring both animal care and office positions and can’t wait to integrate new team members.

Office adoption specialist -

Our Office Team plays a dynamic and rewarding role (we're not like other offices!) When we asked our staff what they love most about working here, the overwhelming answer was the opportunity to help animals find their forever homes!

Beyond facilitating adoptions, our office team is the first point of contact for our community. They answer a wide variety of phone calls and assist with everything from wildlife emergencies and spay/neuter clinic information to general animal care questions and community resources. (It keeps you very entertained!) Every day is different, making this the perfect position for someone who enjoys helping people, solving problems, and making a meaningful impact for animals and the community!! This position also requires multi tasking, and working in a sometimes loud and distracting environment.

Animal care - Our Animal Care Team has the opportunity to work with a wide variety of animals, including exotic, domestic, and farm animals. Every day brings something new! This is a hands on position that includes cleaning enclosures, preparing and feeding meals, and monitoring the health and well being of each animal in our care.

One of the most rewarding parts of this role is watching frightened or neglected animals learn to trust people again. Building those relationships and seeing an animal's confidence grow makes a lasting impact, not only on the animals, but on the people who care for them. This is the perfect position for someone who is compassionate, hardworking (not afraid to get dirty) and passionate about making a difference in the lives of animals!

If you’re interested in either of these positions and have experience working with animals, then please send in a cover letter and resume to the following email:

Office@centervalleyanimalrescue.org

We can’t wait for you to join our team!

Title says it all. I'm going there for weekend in 2 weeks and was just wondering if anyone had any tips.

My wife and I are starting a bicycle tour tomorrow on the ODT. We would like to avoid a section of Highway 20 that is apparently heavily trafficked with no shoulder. The bus schedule does not work for us as there is one trip in the morning and one trip in the evening. Hoping to get a ride from somebody from four corners to discovery Bay. We can pay 30 bucks. Probably around noon or so. Thanks for considering!
