America's Coolest Small Town, obvs.
Budget Travel is currently running a contest to determine America's coolest small town. I've been voting for the past few days (you can vote once a day) and we seem to be consistently in 4th place. I mean, what's so rad about Hammondsport, NY? I'm sure it's a lovely place, but should it be beating Port Townsend? I may be a bit biased, but I don't think so.

Seriously. Look at these buildings.


It's ridiculously gorgeous here, even on a moody, overcast day.


Even our post office is epic.

Mountains and water in almost every direction.
It often feels like we're on an island.


This place is chock-full of history.




Mount Baker is currently covered in snow. The way the sun reflects off of it is incredibly hard to capture in a picture. I had to try, though.


I don't see how any small town could be cooler. Please vote for Port Townsend. There really is no other place like it.
