PORT TOWNSEND, WA — The City of Port Townsend marked a major planning milestone on Saturday, April 25, with a festive community celebration at the Camas Prairie Golf Park, honoring the passage of the city’s 2025 Comprehensive Plan.

Residents of all ages gathered from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. for an afternoon that blended forward-looking civic pride with old-fashioned fun. The highlight of the event was a time capsule, set to be opened in 2045.

Before the sealing, community members were invited to pick up a “Postcard to the Future” and add their personal messages to the capsule.

The afternoon kicked off at 2:00 p.m. with live bluegrass and folk sounds from the Boiler Room String Band, while Port Townsend Poet Laureate Rufina C. Garay led a poetry activity near a crackling fire pit. The Golf Park offered complimentary access to its disc golf course, driving range, and putting greens, along with refreshments including popcorn, nuts, lemonade and iced tea.

At 3:00 p.m., Deputy Mayor Owen Rowe addressed the crowd, thanking attendees for their engagement in shaping the city’s long-term vision. He then officially sealed the time capsule destined for the Jefferson County Historical Society for safekeeping until 2045.
