 Welcome Get Tanked!

Port Townsend Main Street Promotion Committee members Bickie Steffan (left) and Molly Klupfell (right) welcome Francie Loveall of Get Tanked Spa and Boutique, located at 1015 Water Street. Floating is a way to minimize external stimulation so that the mind is completely free to relax. The darkness, the buoyancy, the perfect temperature, and the healing nature of Epsom salts all conspire to create the ultimate therapeutic experience... floating!
