Historic Fire Bell Tower

Small scenic pull out. Great views of the city and water. We didn't get to go up in the tower. Not alot of parking. Just nice little stop while perusing the historic homes in the area. So much history in this area. Recommend reading Wikipedia or other source on port Townsend before visiting. I was surprised by the history.

Beautiful views and if you time it right the birds sing and make beautiful music for you.. Always a favorite stop of mine when in town... Gorgeous Views.. Relaxing to watch the boats sailing. Refreshing ocean breeze. The last time I was here I got to share the view with my love kip.

Great history and close to where we stay. Great views as well. Just walk up to it. Free to check out. Even has a little bench to sit on and watch things go by.

The last Fire Bell Tower in the United States. You can see it from town up the hill. It is behind the Palace Hotel, but you cannot get to it from the stairs there. I took the stairs behind the Haller statue and fountain shown here then took a left. You walk through a residential area. The bell was rung when there was a fire in town. You cannot go inside or upstairs, but there is a nice view of Port Townsend from the hill where it is. There are a few parking spaces. If you are walking or driving past, you may also want to stop at the Pane d'Amour bakery that is a few blocks away and is open 7 am - 7 pm. Closed Mondays. I was on my way there and accidentally found the Fire Bell Tower.

Great view from above, just next to a beautiful historical building (or a house?). There is a wide bench you could sit on and enjoy the view. As a matter of fact we used it for a little picnic. There is also parking for 4 cars I think.
