PORT TOWNSEND When thinking about movie towns, Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Toronto make the list but what about Port Townsend?
This Victorian seaport on the Olympic Peninsula, with a population of only about 8,000, supports a film industry that would be the envy of towns many times its size: a wildly popular new film festival; an educated audience hungry for film fare beyond Hollywood blockbusters, and a string of feature films shot within in its picturesque city limits.
