From the
south (from Oregon, Olympia, etc.):
Take Interstate 5 to Highway 101 and follow it
north to Highway 20 into Port Townsend.
From the north or east
(Seattle or north of Seattle) the map will help you
to decide. You may want to take one of three
ferries:
1. The
Keystone-Port Townsend ferry (if you are
driving the length of Whidbey Island).
2. The
Edmonds -Kingston ferry.
3. The
Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry (see below).
From the Tacoma area:
Take Highway 16 West (exit 132)
over the Narrows Bridge towards Bremerton. Stay
on this road 27 miles where the road turns into
3 North. You will see signs for
the Hood Canal Bridge.... continue on. Once you
cross Hood Canal Bridge, go 5 miles to Hwy
19, where you will turn right towards
Port Townsend. Follow this road 18 miles (through
Chimacum) to Port Townsend. |
From SeaTac
Airport - Using the ferry:
Drive to Seattle (North on Interstate 5)
and take the 4th Avenue Exit. Follow signs
to the ferries. Be careful to watch, they
are sometimes easy to miss. The drive from the airport
to the Seattle-Bainbridge
ferry takes about 25 minutes. From Seattle take
the Bainbridge Island Ferry to Winslow on Bainbridge
Island. The ferry ride takes about 35 minutes. The
drive will take about 1 hour from the time you get
off of the ferry to Port Townsend. As you get off
the ferry, drive straight ahead. You'll go through
a stop sign, through the town of Poulsbo and after
approximately 13 miles you'll follow signs
to the Hood Canal Bridge. Continue across
the Hood Canal Bridge for approximately 4 miles.
You'll see a sign (Hwy 19) for
Port Townsend (1/2 mile ahead). Turn right toward
Port Townsend (you're now on Beaver Valley road).
Drive about 18 miles (through the town of Chimacum)
and into Port Townsend. |
