From the south (from Oregon, Olympia, etc.)
Take Interstate 5 to Highway 101 and follow it north to Highway
20 into Port Townsend.
From the north or east (Seattle or north of
Seattle) the map will help you to decide. You may want to take one
of three ferries:
1. The
Keystone-Port Townsend ferry (if you are driving the
length of Whidbey Island).
2. The
Edmonds -Kingston ferry.
3. The
Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry (see below).
From the Tacoma area
Take Highway 16 over the Narrows Bridge toward Bremerton and

Hood Canal Bridge for approximately 4 miles. You'll see a sign for
Port Townsend (½ mile ahead). Turn right toward Port
Townsend (you're now on Beaver Valley road). Drive about 22 miles
(through the town of Chimacum) and into Port Townsend.
