There are a variety of special districts provided
under Washington Statutes that exist statewide that provide infrastructure and services in a wide range of areas including fire control, libraries, ports and hospitals. In some cases,
special districts play an expanded role in providing outdoor recreation opportunities, conservation and resource management services. The Jefferson County Parks and Recreation District
#1 formed in 1984 with the purpose of providing social, recreational, inspirational, economic development, safety and security needs for the Toandos Peninsula community. In 1992 the
Laurel B. Johnson Community Center building was dedicated and in 2002 the District was expanded. The Port of Port Townsend is a special purpose district created through Title 53 RCW
and maintains and develops property and facilities to promote sustainable economic growth, to provide community access to Port facilities and services, and to protect and maintain community
resources and maritime heritage. The Port provides public use opportunities at many of their facilities for recreation. Other special purpose districts include the Port Ludlow Fire &
Rescue District, the Jefferson Healthcare Hospital, the Jefferson County Library District and the Jefferson County Conservation District. These special districts provide a wide-range
of educational programs, workshops, classes and events. They provide support groups, community forums, seminars and symposiums.
