Calling All Passenger Ferry/Vessel Operators!

The Hastings Estate Company is currently in the planning phases to replace the existing single-story structure behind the Hastings Building with a multi-story full-service Passenger Ferry Terminal (Hastings Landing).

Passenger Ferry/Vessel Operators who are interested in developing routes to and from Port Townsend are invited to contact the Hastings Estate Company to discuss the terminal project. We are interested in providing a landing site for multiple passenger ferry/vessel operators and will work with you to market your services and to develop and promote package programs that include ferry travel to and from Hastings Landing. For more information, contact Heather Poulsen at heather@hastingsestate.com or by phone at (360) 385-3264. See below for photos of the site and more information about the plans for the Hastings Landing Passenger Ferry Terminal.

You won’t need a car to take advantage of all the activities and services that Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula have to offer. The Hastings Estate Company has contacted several passenger ferry/vessel operators, including Clipper Navigation (Victoria Clipper) and Puget Sound Express, who have indicated a preliminary interest in establishing or expanding service to and from Port Townsend utilizing the passenger ferry terminal at Hasting Landing. Once the terminal is in operation, you’ll be able to take a passenger vessel from various points of departure and disembark right in the heart of Port Townsend’s Historic District, without your car!

In addition to the many excellent shops and businesses within walking distance from the Hastings Landing Passenger Ferry Terminal, we will work to establish relationships with local ground transportation operators to provide accessible general transport and tour options throughout Port Townsend and the greater Olympic Peninsula.

If you decide your car is still necessary for day-trips, for example going for a morning hike in the Olympic National Park or a surfing trip to Crescent Beach, we are developing valet and self-park options near the downtown core for passenger ferry riders and hotel guests.

Interested in opening a restaurant, coffee or retail shop in Port Townsend? Have you been looking for a way to move to a community that supports big-city commerce in a small-town setting? Then contact our Property Manager for more information at heather@hastingsestate.com or by phone at (360) 385-3264.

And keep your eye on this website for project updates.
