Walking Tours The Walking Tour committee members continued to provide up-close and leisurely looks at both Uptown and Downtown's Victorian architecture. This year the downtown tours were again able to begin and end at City Hall. They reveal the waterfront commercial district's rowdy past. The Uptown tours continued to feature the Rothschild House Museum and the residential district, with its fine homes and churches. Tour guides provided special tours by prior arrangement throughout the year. Every tour offered sold out during the three-day-long Victorian Festival in March. The regular Walking Tour season began the first Saturday in June and ran through September. Saturdays featured Downtown tours and Sundays featured Uptown. We also continued to provide CruiseWest, a small ship cruise line out of Seattle, a warm welcome and guided tours for their passengers, numbering from between 50 to 100 for each visit. In 2007, they stopped in Port Townsend seven times during April, May, September and October. We now have twelve trained volunteer guides with notebooks of information. Two are specially trained for Uptown. We will continue to expand our information and train guides as the demand increases. Currently our guides include: Lynne Sterling, Suzanne Hainsworth, Lee Doughty, Robere LeHuquet, Steve Levin, Beverly Malagon, Judith Livingston, Steve Bailey, Joanne Pickering, Linda Spurgeon, Anne Virtue and Bill Tennent.
