Port Townsend Commercial Real Estate

Buying Port Townsend Commercial Real Estate is more than just purchasing a Puget Sound home, its also buying a peace of history. In 1792, British Captain George Vancouver sailed up the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the entrance of what is now Puget Sound. He noted in the ship's log that he had found a very safe and capacious harbor, which he named Port Townsend, in honor of his friend the Marquis of Townsend. Sixty years later the first white settlers, Alfred A. Plummer and Charles Bachelder, arrived and built a log cabin at what is now the corner of Water and Tyler streets. Washington State archives record April 24, 1851 as Plummer's filing date and Port Townsend's official beginning. The small settlement became a thriving seaport, reaching its peak population of 7,000 in 1890. These were the humble begginnings of the wonderful Port Townsend Commercial Real Estate that you can buy today!
