Jefferson County, Washington

Jefferson County sits on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington. Rugged mountains meet the sea here. Port Townsend, the county seat, charms visitors with its artsy vibe.
But venture inland and you’ll find yourself in wilderness. The Olympic National Park takes up a big chunk of the county. Hikers and campers love it. These days, tourism and timber are big businesses.
The county is named after Thomas Jefferson, but its history goes back way further. Native peoples lived here for thousands of years before Europeans showed up. But there’s a laid-back feel to the place. It’s the kind of county where you might spot a bald eagle on your morning walk.
