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 parks 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. This summer/fall we have been coordinating the Downtown Mobile Greeter Program . Our friendly greeter works Fri-Sunday with an e-bike equipped with visitor information (funded by LTAC). He promotes our local businesses, things to do, lodging options and invites visitors to come back. 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=06f82f196d&e=1 9a6aabdc6> for more details—thank you! <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/images/ad072469-f7af-6f99-eb57-6570202527c8.png> Thanks to our Main Street Member - The Old Whiskey Mill! We spend a lot of time making all of our sauces, cutting our own steaks, smoking our own meats and playing with pickling vegetables and making kimchi. We believe if you take the time and care to make it in-house, the food and drinks are just more special and fun. Our goal is to make the best pub fare we can in a space that is friendly and welcoming to everyone. We hope you will experience this in every bite. "What I love best about Main Street is that it brings together the community of small businesses owners downtown and uptown so that we can help each other, learn from each other, and support each other. Port Townsend is such a wonderful place to have a business. You feel very welcome and like you are doing it together," says Kris Nelson, Owner. <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/images/ed7ac3a4-d656-4fdc-121c-d69dfe86781b.png> <https://mcusercontent.com/72d728eac0a891fc7cdd75517/images/1d220c7f-eee0-fc0d-ea45-93de911a 1957.png> 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?
