Port Townsend at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Whidbey Island Nas, WA station, about 17 miles away. Conditions on your site can differ from the station's.
Planning Around the Weather
The closest NOAA climate-normals station, Whidbey Island NAS, WA, is about 17 miles from Port Townsend's Census point, far enough that conditions on your site can differ; treat the 1991–2020 normals below as a guide. DOE's Building America map puts Jefferson County in the Marine climate region (IECC 2021 zone 4C, PNNL county guide). This region has mild temperatures most of the year but long damp seasons, so wet ground is usually a bigger issue than heat or cold.
Near the Shoreline
Port Townsend's Census reference point is about 1 mile from the shoreline in the Census Bureau's TIGER coastline layer (the layer includes Great Lakes shores and some bays). Beach and waterfront sites mean sand and soft ground: trucks need a firm approach, ADA units a firm route (loose sand is not one), and exposed units staking.
Freezing Nights
About 40 nights a year reach 32°F or below, fewer than most U.S. places in our data, mostly between late fall and early spring. Water-carrying units need a plan from late fall into spring: give your dates when you call and ask how hand-wash water and flush tanks are kept from freezing.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Building in Existing Neighborhoods
About 11.1% of Port Townsend's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), below the U.S. share of 11.4%, though above the median U.S. place in our data, so most homes predate 2010 and many projects are renovations or additions to existing buildings.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Port Townsend's housing is 1981 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data. Housing from that era is now 35 to 55 years old; crews replacing roofs, windows or mechanical systems on it need a toilet on site like any other crew.
Older Paint on Renovation Jobs
A large share of Port Townsend's housing, about 49% of units, was built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.62) requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead. If the crew will sand, scrape or demolish old paint, put one of the hand-wash stations next to the toilet.
Housing Mix
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 75% of units (higher than most U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 11% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 32% of occupied homes are rented (owner share higher than most U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.
Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51, a crew of 20 or fewer needs one toilet, so a single unit covers a typical renovation crew; you can ask for exactly one. More on sizing: construction rentals in Washington.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A three-hour winter event for 1,000 people needs 8 units on the PSAI event chart, or 9 to 10 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, and near the water the ADA unit belongs on a firm route, not across sand.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. For beach and waterfront events, units stand at the edge of the sand on firm ground the service truck can reach. For a backyard party at a house, you can ask for a single unit; a deluxe flushable unit needs no hookups. More: event rentals in Washington and wedding restrooms in Washington.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Port Townsend is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Port Townsend city government before you book what applies.
Beaches and waterfront parks can be managed by a separate parks, port or state agency; ask whoever manages that land.
