The Port Townsend Main Street Program is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization: Our mission is to preserve, promote, and enhance our historic business districts.

"Main Street" is a philosophy, a program and a proven comprehensive approach to commercial district revitalization created by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The revitalization process is centered in four volunteer committee areas: Promotion, Economics, Design and Organization. Under the Economics Committee, our Main Street Program also has a Property Owners’ Subcommittee, and the HUD Revolving Loan Committee. The Port Townsend Main Street Program is governed by a board of directors which meets monthly. Special event and office volunteers work on projects throughout the year. Our nonprofit program is funded through memberships, sponsorships, grants, event income, donations and the Main Street Tax Incentive Program.
