History

Currently, it is most famous economically for the jazz workshop that is held there every summer. Port Townsend's economy was very weak until the 1920s when a paper mill was built on the edge of the town. Without the railroad to spur economic growth, the town shrank and investors looked elsewhere to make a good return. Fowler House, the Rothschild House (Port Townsend, Washington) House, and the St. The bay is now home to Naval Magazine Indian Island, the US Navy's primary munitions handling dock on the Pacific coast.
