Aww, I really enjoy Port Townsend. We're in Tacoma and have gone up the past few years for the THING festival. I really want to hit up the wooden boat building festival next!
OH! Port Townsend!!!! Luck you! I got to go to PT twice a year for 15 years when I taught in Goddard's MFA program. Fort Worden was our residency campus. I LOVE that town and miss it so. The college pulled out early in the pandemic, and I quit teaching. I wish I had the time to take you up on your rental offer!
Beautiful place. I can certainly understand your appreciation for that "permanent" home. One thing I've noticed about nomads is they eventually find a way to buy and build a based camp. Some place they can be sure is available to them without hassles and it's ALL THEIRS to do with what they want.
I suppose everyone settles down eventually. But honestly, owning something seems like the option with the hassles. I love never having to deal with anything -- and, more importantly, never having to pay for repairs/maintenance.
As a former Seattleite (5 years in the mid 70's) I always thought Port Townsend was just the best small town around the peninsula. Evidently it still is, and I envy you guys getting to spend time there.
I've been dreaming about a place like this. Near. Possibly wheelchair accessible. Hideaway (and pretend I'm working on my next book. Secure. Restaurant (I haven't cooked since I pubbed A Three-Turtle Summer). What a dream! If this doesn't work, maybe some place nearby?
The units are not wheelchair accessible (that I know of -- most of the ones I've seen have steps and multiple levels). But the area would be a great place to write!

It is a lovely area! The wooden boat facility is just fab (they're currently remodeling).

Oh, I love Fort Worden. So interesting! And the other two forts (and Indian and Whidbey Islands) are interesting too. So great they're all parks now.

Port Townsend is lovely, yes.

It's hanging in there! LOL

That sounds very tempting! :)
