Facility Rentals
The City of Port Townsend has three facilities available for rent.
Cotton Building, Pope Marine Building and Chetzemoka Park (Gazebo - the Kitchen Shelter is closed indefinitely for extensive repairs). These facilities are available for public and private use and can be reserved throughout the year on a first-come, first-served basis. Whether you are organizing a family gathering, birthday party, wedding or business function, these waterfront sites may meet your needs!
