While different, these can both be great ways to spend an afternoon in Port Townsend. Set up a golf tee time at Port Townsend Golf Course, located within walking distance of the Blue Gull Inn. It is a 9 hole golf course with a driving range that boasts beautiful views of town and the Olympic Mountains on a clear day. If you are looking for a ‘cup of tea’ time then head downtown to Pippas’s Real Tea. This is more of a modern take on a tea room, so it’s a laid-back,casual, and comfortable way to enjoy a soothing cup of tea and tasty treat.
When travelling to Port Townsend it is easy to be overwhelmed by restaurant choices. For Japanese food my pick is Ichikawa. My personal favorites are the daily Bento box or Chef’s choice combos (always good and allows me to try something new). There are options for the no-raw-fish eaters as well, their tempura udon is very good. You don’t have to take my word for it, check out the reviews on Yelp or Tripadvisor. They are located downtown, across from the Port Townsend Ferry Dock. This is a smaller establishment and can get very busy on the weekends, I recommend making a reservation. If you are with a group of 8 or more, reserving the Tatami room is fun and a little more private.
