House #1 to gather community feedback on the Port Townsend Golf Course and Mountain View
Commons Concept Planning Effort on Wednesday, January 11th from 5:00-7:00 P.M at the Fort Worden
Commons, 210 Battery Way, Port Townsend WA 98368. The in-person Open House will include
childcare. Please visit the city's website for information on how to register. An online version of the
Open House will be held the following day Thursday, January 12th from 4:00-5:30 pm. The online link is
available on the city's website. Please attend and share your ideas!
This planning effort began in early 2020 following the development of the PROS (Parks, Recreation and
Open Space) Plan which showed the community's desire to explore different uses for the golf course
property owned by the City. In November 2020, City Council unanimously directed staff to engage the
community to explore the feasibility of alternate uses, in addition to continued use for golf. Given the
proximity of the Mountain View Commons Campus, it is the City's interest to explore complementary
uses and plan for this site as well.
