Interdisciplinary Mayhem

PORT TOWNSEND: where to stay, etc.

I just sent out some links & info to my family, in hopes they can attend my graduation in August 2008. Apparently, reservations for cabins, yurts, and campsites at Fort Worden itself go pretty fast. I thought this info might be useful to those bringing families or who want to stay an extra night or two, maybe camp or stay at a B&B in town.

PT: Restaurant Recommendations from Chow peeps

i asked on the Chowhound site for recommendations on coffeehouses and restaurants in Port Townsend (also Port Angeles and Sequim), and got some good advice! my guidebook on the Olympia Peninsula (the Insider's Guide) also concurs.

Silverwater and Wild Coho appear to be the top choices for fancypants dining, Northwesty style. Tyler Street Bakery and Coffeehouse gets good marks, Ajax Café sounds endearing with its many wacky wearable hats, and Otter Crossing by the marina sounds intriguing for brunch. since i sideline as a travel 'n' food writer, when not making the big bucks as a graduate student, i'll have to check some of this out while i'm there...

PT: William James Bookstore

"My only recommendation in PT is William James Bookseller, on Water Street," says my friend David Adam Edelstein. "One of my all-time favorite bookstores. It smells just right and I always find something wonderful."
