My master suite is on the lowest level andas I spot the enormous inviting Jacuzzi tub I momentarilythink, “Oh great, I’m still never going to see the Olympicpeninsula.” One balcony is on the master suite floor anda second is off the middle level, where the living room,kitchen and laundry room are located. The second bedroom is up one more flight, and a landing with a comfortable sofa—the perfect reading nook—is situated on thetop floor as well.

This “City of Dreams”was expected to become the largest harbor on the WestCoast, and it thrived while overseas vessels frequented itsport and the Northern Pacific Railroad planned to buildits northwest extension into the heart of the town. Manyornate Victorian homes and business establishments werebuilt in anticipation of the boom—which turned into abust when the railroad never materialized. People left indroves; homes were abandoned and buildings desertedin mid-construction. The arrival of a paper mill in theearly 1920s saw a small boost in the local economy, butit wasn’t until the 1970s—when savvy investors startedbuying up the exquisite Victorians for a song—that Port
