Put your state B&O Taxes to work in Port Townsend thru PT Main Street--pledge today! You may know our work from colorful events like Concerts on the Dock, the Uptown Street Fair, the Downtown Trick or Treat Parade, festive holiday events/local shopping promotions, and Creative District efforts. You might enjoy the winter lights in the trees, beautiful hanging flower baskets or the downtown pocket park like Adams Street Park, or the Tyler Plaza with its overhead lights—all Main Street projects. We coordinated Earth Day Cleanup downtown, care for the rain gardens, manage two loan programs and hung approximately 500 pieces of children’s art in the stores as part of Art Wave in May. The Main Street Tax Incentive Program allows businesses to put their state B&O taxes to work locally through the Port Townsend Main Street Program. This is a key source of funding for our 501c3 nonprofit and enables us to put our mission and workplan (with so many programs for our community) into action. Business contributors who wish to participate must sign up each year through the Washington State DOR website but payments are not due to our office until Nov. 8, 2024. 75% of your contribution is returned to you via B&O tax credits in 2025. Please visit our website <https://ptmainstreet.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517&id=ec70548a07&e=1 9a6aabdc6> for more details—thank you! <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/images/94194f3a-b954-3abe-ab9b-1e67f622303a.png> Thanks to our Main Street Member - Gallery 9! Gallery-9 at 1012 Water Street is the showcase for the North Olympic Artist Cooperative. Created by local artists who had “a dream about a co-op filled with wonderful art and fabulous crafts produced by talented, excited and fun artists.” The gallery doors first opened in 2004, making this year the 20th Anniversary. Their non-profit status supports local programs like PT Artscape, bringing art to the children in Port Townsend schools. The charm of this gallery is having such an eclectic mix of art (paintings, photography, jewelry, woodworking, furniture, glass art, ceramics, hats, scarves, cards) with direct connections to the makers and over 20 local artists to admire. "What we love about the Port Townsend Main Street Program is how they keep us well informed with what’s happening in town. They always have interesting projects and events, like Girls Night Out, that make us feel connected to the PT business and greater community. For small businesses that depend on local support, the Main Street Program helps us to stay connected and thrive." <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/images/503aae49-f82a-b490-0bfd-a275c562adbb.jpeg> <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/images/bd476549-58ae-3f55-751b-59f54250 b032.jpeg> Membership Makes a Difference Did you know that our 501c3 nonprofit works in four volunteer committees--Organization, Design, Economics, and Promotion to benefit our historic districts?
