Fort Worden Historical State Park in Port Townsend is a great destination for the day or for a long camping trip. This particular image is the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, with an amazing array of programs for all ages. At this beautiful park, people fly kites, sunbathe, beachcomb, sailing, camp out, visit historic officer's quarters, and just enjoy the beautiful Pacific Northwest scenery. This image is my original photo with painterfly watercolor effects applied.
