CASCADE PBS Northwest Explorer Series | Escape to Port Townsend and Explore Northwest Maritime

We’re grateful to Cascade PBS for featuring the Northwest Maritime Center in their series. This segment takes a closer look at who we are, what we do, and why this place and this community matters. Whether you’re hearing about us for the first time or have been part of our story for years, we hope this gives you a fuller picture of the work happening here in Port Townsend. The Northwest Maritime Center is a nonprofit with the mission to engage and educate people in traditional and contemporary maritime life. Located in historic Port Townsend, NW Maritime is a hub for people to orient themselves to over 14,000 years of maritime history as well as an education center to teach anyone, youth and adults, maritime trades from learning to sail to building boats.
