History

Because of the speed at which the economy fell in the 1890s and the non-existence of any industry or economy to replace it, none of the Victorian buildings were torn down or built over in the intervening period. Over the decades that followed, Port Townsend maintained its economic stability in a variety of ways, including the development of artillery fortifications at Fort Worden. The bay is now home to Naval Magazine Indian Island, the US Navy's primary munitions handling dock on the Pacific coast. 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.
