Port Townsend is a small resort town in Washington state where travelers can enjoy a truly pet friendly vacation. Port Townsend was an economic hub during the Victorian era which has found a new life as an art and music hotspot and tourist attraction in the 1970s.

The Victorian architecture and pristine environment drew artists to this small community during that decade and they have contributed to making the town a lively community. Annual music and art festivals attract a variety of tourists to this friendly and open town where few spaces are off limits to pets. For example, there are even whale watching tours which allow you to take your dog along for the ride on the Puget Sound Express. The town's premier gourmet bistro, Sweet Laurette's, also allows pets to accompany their owners on the patio dining area.
