Every purchase makes a difference—support the shops, restaurants, and cafés that help our community thrive all year long. <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/_compresseds/f1d58f2e-7c81-9613-dd3d-f89a6bfa6613.jpg> Get Involved with Main Street in 2026! Looking to make a difference in Port Townsend? Main Street offers lots of fun and meaningful ways to get involved in 2026! Join a planning committee and help shape our community—our Promotions Committee meets year-round to plan and bring to life 20+ events each year, while the Design Committee meets quarterly to guide beautification projects in Uptown and Downtown. If you’re savvy with business, lending, or economic development, our Economic Vitality Committee could be a great fit. Short on time? Volunteer with our new Green Team to help care for Uptown and Downtown rain gardens, or lend a hand at one (or many!) of our fantastic community events. We are busy planning a great slate of events, placemaking projects, ecnomonic engagement, and tourism promotion projects for 2026. As we roll out a new website and refreshed brand we are excited to engage with our community of business owners, building owners, residents, visitors, volunteers, organizations, and public and private partners. Look for updates and more information in February. <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/images/527f64fc-6590-76a9-1b83-3aefce7aadcf.png> Main Street Member Highlight Now open on Water Street, A Touch of Dutch <https://ptmainstreet.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517&id=83208f8125&e=19a6aabdc6> brings a delightful taste of Europe to Port Townsend.

We want to be a resource, a connection, a collaborator, but it takes us working together to make our work have positive impact. As we roll out our website later this month, with it we will roll out a more inclusive membership model. We don't want you or your business to feel excluded from connecting with us. We also want to make it easier for the community at large to engage with our civic work in the community. Together we can accomplish good things. This month as I walk around downtown and uptown I look forward to meeting with many of you. We will also have a chance for business owners/managers and building owners to join us for an Open House at the end of February to get a preview of our new website and participate in information sharing survey. Share this newsletter with a friend so they can also stay up to date. <https://ptmainstreet.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517&id=af860dae6b&e=19a6aabdc6> Reach out to connect <mailto:director@ptmainstreet.org?subject=Newsletter%20Connection> .
