As we mark down the time to the thirty-sixth annual Port Townsend Writers' Conference, we're showing a series of photos taken during the 2008 gathering. The building to the right might look familiar to you! Since 1974, it's hosted such writers as Conference founder Bill Ransom, Kenneth Rexroth, Ken Kesey, Alice Walker, James Welch, and many, many others. This year, it'll be the site of workshops by such writers as Chris Abani, Kim Barnes, Mark Doty, Robert Wrigley, Peter Orner, and many others, as well as the site of the Conference bookstore, computer lab, and all of the morning freewrites.

We'll see you here soon! If you aren't registered, and would like to be a part of the gathering, please call 360.385.3102, x131.
