Port Townsend, Washington

Crossroads Music is located on the northeast corner of the Olympic Peninsula in the beautiful seaport town of Port Townsend, Washington.

Port Townsend was settled in the late 1800's. Known for its Victorian architecture and mild climate, it has become the home of musicians, luthiers, painters, writers, award-winning bow makers, and many more talented craftsmen and artists.

Interspersed among the many shops, galleries and fine restaurants, one can find an event or performance at any one of the many venues located in town--the Upstage Restaurant and Theatre, the Legion Hall, Siren’s, Waterstreet Brewing Co. or Fort Worden State Park.

Port Townsend has become a popular destination for many activities and events—the annual Wooden Boat Festival, the Centrum Summer Music Festivals and Workshops, the Port Townsend Film Festival, and the Victorian Festival just to name a few. Port Townsend is also the site of the annual Kinetic Sculpture Race.While in town, we invite you to visit our shop.
