My sister-in-law and brother-in-law live in Port Townsend, Wa. PT is beautiful but is arguably the most liberal community on the west coast, and that is saying alot. The missus says the town was more normal in the 70s and 80s. Now its just nuts.
PT is a nice place to visit. But lotsa rich liberals moved there and poisoned it. Reminds me of the time I stayed in the coastal town of Mendecino, CA. The pictures and literature made it sound very pleasant. So I booked 2 nights there.
There was some minor music festival going on, and I told the girl at the hotel desk "that music festival sure seems to have attracted alot of hippies". She replied, "The hippies live here". I won't be going back.
