History

Without the railroad to spur economic growth, the town shrank and investors looked elsewhere to make a good return. During this period, in 1888, the Port Townsend Police Department was established. Currently, it is most famous economically for the jazz workshop that is held there every summer. They were, in essence, preserved as time capsules for the next 100 years when the value of keeping them intact was appreciated and fostered. As part of the workshop, famous jazz musicians play all week in the Port Townsend clubs and bars, drawing many tourists to the area.
