Our favorite memory is sitting on the grassy front lawn of the hill top James House while watching the green and white ferry docking below in Port Townsend.
Built in 1889, the James House is one of Port Townsend's grandest historic homes and has the distinction of being the first bed and breakfast in the Pacific Northwest. An exquisite Queen Anne style mansion (it's included on the National Register of Historic Places), it was built on the bluff to take advantage of the sweeping views overlooking Puget Sound and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains.
Yesterday's Elegance Renewed
Owned by Carol McGough since 1990, this former hospital administrator turned hotelier also purchased and remodeled the adjacent property into a Bungalow and Hideaway on the Bluff in 1996. These two suites both have beautiful water and mountain views, and each have a private garden entry and sitting area.
I love all things Victorian so I book an annual stay here and that takes care of me for he year.
