wa: Port Townsend, WA Rhody Festival - 05/18/11 10:38 AM
Port Townsend is experiencing our first real spring weather this week, and just in time for our wonderful Rhody festival.  Always a great reason to spend a few days in this charming Victorian Seaport Village. 
The festival  was started in 1935 when a local businessman contacted the Hearst News Organization with an idea to film the rhododendrons in bloom as a part of their "short subjects" popular in movie theaters in those days.  The business community then organized a Queen competition to have a group of young women in the photos.  The townspeople could vote by spending money at local participating merchants.

wa: Jefferson Land Trust in Port Townsend - 06/13/09 06:32 AM
                         
                     This This private non-profit organization is all about preserving our land, open spaces, and habitat.  So far this group is stewarding 7865 acres in this area.
 The office is located in Port Townsend, but projects are county wide and donations of land and money from citizens along with the plans and ideas of members make it happen.
My first recollection of this organization is from the time one of our local realtors started a drive to collect $75,000 to retain trees that line the entrance to our city, as they were in danger of being cut down.  This realtor came to … (5 comments)
