Port Townsend EcoVillage

We are a small-town, multigenerational EcoVillage on 7.5 acres in Port Townsend, WA, a historic seaport of 10,000 residents. We have a core group of a 46 active participants: 35 adults and 11 children, most of whom live on site. All the residential sites have houses completed, but we occasionally have rental units available. Residents share ample common gardens, fields, woods, a large shop/art/recreation center and a beautiful Common House. We use some of our best land to grow food using permaculture, restorative agriculture principles, and other organic methods, and may develop cottage industries. We embrace and seek diversity and are especially glad for the broad range of ages present among us. We share meals and celebrate solstice and other diverse earth and life cycle days together. Fun and connecting activities happen often – recent examples: crafting time, singing gatherings, gifting circle, food preserving, as well as ongoing garden and construction work. Structured as a Home Owners Association, most of our members own their own lots and the homes they built on them, and thus have access to mortgages, federal tax deductions and tax credits for renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives. HOA members collectively own a large 2-kitchen home with 4 bedrooms and one of the lots on which there are 3 tiny houses. We offer tours once a month prior to our monthly community meeting on the second Sunday of each month, and can sometimes arrange for a tour on another date. Email us to arrange a visit!
