The Inn at McCurdy House is perched in what we think is the most wonderful spot in Port Townsend. We are centrally located literally steps from historic Downtown Port Townsend, and equally close to the Uptown district. Just a few short blocks from the Farmer's Market, a multitude of historic buildings, shopping, dining, and much more.

Port Townsend was first established in 1851 and was soon called the “City of Dreams”. Slated to become one of the largest harbors on the West Coast, the railroad’s end-point was once scheduled for this town. Most of the original architecture still remains and it is now one of only three Victorian seaports on the National Register of Historic Places. This unique city has much to offer. Self-guided maps of driving tours and guided uptown and downtown walking tours encourage the full enjoyment of its rich history. Whatever your interest, we have more of art, history and nature to offer – a world away from major highways, airports and the day-to-day stress of city living. We invite you to come relax, explore and enjoy our beautiful area.

A sampling of the activities to savor is Fort Worden, a 500-acre state park and conference center with a diverse range of year-round activities including a wide variety of arts workshops and retreats (many brought to us by Centrum) which culminate in outstanding open-air concerts. Many artists’ studios and galleries line the main street including painters, glass and textile artists, potters and sculptors. Several theatrical groups present locally produced shows for your pleasure. Leisurely walk and browse through the many unique shops scattered in both downtown and uptown, stopping for a sweet treat at one of our ice-cream fountains. Great eating is always a favorite holiday pastime with the only complaint being too many places to choose from – fine dining often features locally grown organic produce and fresh seafood when in season! History comes alive by enjoying one our many museums including the Jefferson County Historical Society Museum and Research Center, the Rothschild House, Aero Museum, the Commanding Officer’s Quarters, Marine Science Center, and the Puget Sound Coast Artillery Museum at Fort Worden. Enjoy the many hiking and biking trails, go boating or sailing, or simply drive to the many beautiful spots within the peninsula to provide a welcome escape to nature and a touch of wilderness. Select from one of the area’s events calendars, which feature something for everyone most weekends of the year.

Port Townsend, in addition to being a destination in itself, is close to the 101 Olympic Peninsula Loop, Whidbey Island via the ferry (10 miles), Sequim (30 miles), Anacortes (also by the ferry - 40 miles total), Port Angeles (45 miles), the Olympic National Park (50+ miles), Victoria B.C. via the Victoria Express or Coho ferry leaving from Port Angeles (70 miles total), and many other wonderful places. Port Townsend can be reached in as little as 2 hours from Seattle via the Bainbridge Island ferry, or take a more leisurely drive past Olympia and up the 101, in about 3 1/2 hours.
