PORT TOWNSEND — The city’s historic districts are filled with beautiful Victorian buildings — but they can be dark during the winter.
The Port Townsend Main Street program wants to fix this — and seeks to raise $25,000 to install holiday lights uptown and downtown on City Hall, the Cotton Building, Pope Marine Building and Bell Tower.
Main Street officers also hope to light up the Post Office/Customs Building and the Jefferson County Courthouse after a second phase of fundraising.
The program already has received a grant from the Port of Port Townsend to light Union Wharf this year, making it more visible from land and sea.
To make a donation, and to get updates and learn about perks to contributors, visit Main Street’s holiday lights website at www.tinyurl.com/pctmlcy.
The Port Townsend Main Street Program is a nonprofit organization that works to enhance the character, economic vitality and historic preservation of Port Townsend.
