NEWS AROUND THE BLOCK!
Now open, Get Tanked, a floatation therapy spa and boutique! Located at 1015 Water St. in the Flagship Landing. Floating in a sensory deprivation tank increases dopamine production, lowers blood pressure and lowers the stress hormone, cortisol. By doing so, floating significantly reduces the cause of stress related illnesses. Join them for a grand opening celebration on Sept. 13, from 11 am to 5 pm and learn more about floatation therapy.
Port Townsend Paper Company invites you to an OPEN HOUSE at the Mill on Sat. Sept. 13th from 11-4 pm. For the first time in decades, you will be able to see their operations up close and in person. After your tour or while you wait, grab a burger or hot dog and take a look at some of the exhibits. Kids are welcome too--pose with the CAT loader, jump in the bouncy castle, or take a break for arts and crafts. If you plan on attending, you must RSVP at 360-379-2028 or
openhouse@ptpc.com
