History

The town experienced a renaissance beginning in the 1970s as new residents, including many retirees, moved to town. Port Townsend is also called the "City of Dreams" because of the early speculation that the city would be the largest harbor on the west coast of the United States. Its port was large and frequented by overseas vessels, so shipping of goods and timber from the area was a major part of the economy. When the depression hit, those plans lost the capital to continue and rail lines ended on the east side of Puget Sound, mainly in Tumwater, Washington Tacoma, Washington and Seattle, Washington With the other Puget Sound ports growing in size, Port Townsend saw a rapid decline in population when the Northern Pacific Railroad failed to connect the city to the eastern Puget Sound city of Tacoma. During this period, in 1888, the Port Townsend Police Department was established.
