Newcomers, old-time locals are celebrated

Communities thrive when people are connected.

Our annual Who’s Who publication helps that happen.

New this year, we’ve focused on how to be involved in and support the many facets of Port Townsend and Jefferson County.

The first-ever “Awesomeness Survey” results are published here: talented people, funny people, great volunteers, nice people – a little bit of everything, and a lot of names. See who is on the list that you know, and who you would nominate for next year.

New to the area and want to see what’s out there? Who’s Who is for you. n “Groups” brings in regularly scheduled, year-round clubs and activities from throughout East Jefferson County – from book clubs to beekeeping, music, prayer, plants, writing and wine tasting. n “Recreation” details public trails, playfields, basketball courts, mountain bike trails and more. Find the avenue to entertain your children, your grandchildren and yourself. Sailing, youth gymnastics, golf, YMCA and public recreation programs – don’t be led to believe there is nothing to do here. n “Support Groups” show how we have an inclusive community. This is a comprehensive list of legal, educational and human services. It may be something you need, or that suits you as a volunteer.

We hope you keep our Who’s Who publication around as a reference guide for the whole year; it’s also available on ptleader.com.

When it comes to living well in a place that makes you happy, it usually starts with the people you know and the people who want to help. Now you know a little more about who is who.
