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!
Any use of the Pope Marine plaza will include rentals of both facilities and will likely require a Special Event Permit. Special Event Permits are managed through Special Events at the Police Department.
