Directions
Centrum is located at historic Fort Worden State Park in the Victorian seaport of Port Townsend, WA. Perched at the northeast tip of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, Port Townsend is a magical combination of land and sea, with panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, as well as the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Located a short ferry ride from Seattle, Centrum is ideally located for easy access, while being a world a way, set in the timeless beauty of Fort Worden State Park. Fort Worden State Park is the crown jewel of Washington’s state park system. Centrum and the park were formed in 1973, providing a peaceful use for a turn-of-the-century military fort. The 445-acre park features salt-water beaches, wooded hills with trails and abandoned gun emplacements, a traditional military parade ground and the ‘Chinese Gardens’ lagoon area.
