Port of Port Townsend Might Buy Old Fort Townsend State Park
Old Fort Townsend State Park might be sold by the state government, and the Port of Port Townsend is a possible buyer.
Port of Port Townsend Executive Director Larry Crockett and Port Commissioner John Collins both think the park’s operation and maintenance could be “cost neutral.” They’re counting on additional fees and revenues being generated by making improvements to the park’s RV sites.
There’s also the possibility of a boat ramp being constructed at the park.
So far, Bogachiel State Park — the other Olympic Peninsula park that might be sold or closed — doesn’t have a potential buyer. Forks Mayor Nedra Reed is hoping that officials from Forks, Clallam County and local tribal leaders will find a way to keep the park open.
