  "textContent": "PORT TOWNSEND, WA — The City of Port Townsend marked a major planning milestone on Saturday, April 25, with a festive community celebration at the Camas Prairie Golf Park, honoring the passage of the city’s 2025 Comprehensive Plan.\n\nResidents of all ages gathered from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. for an afternoon that blended forward-looking civic pride with old-fashioned fun. The highlight of the event was a time capsule, set to be opened in 2045.\n\nBefore the sealing, community members were invited to pick up a “Postcard to the Future” and add their personal messages to the capsule.\n\n__Boiler Room String Band at the Camas Prairie Golf Park.

Garay led a poetry activity near a crackling fire pit. The Golf Park offered complimentary access to its disc golf course, driving range, and putting greens, along with refreshments including popcorn, nuts, lemonade and iced tea.\n\nAt 3:00 p.m., Deputy Mayor Owen Rowe addressed the crowd, thanking attendees for their engagement in shaping the city’s long-term vision. He then officially sealed the time capsule destined for the Jefferson County Historical Society for safekeeping until 2045.\n\n__Deputy Mayor Owen Rowe holding the 2025 Comprehensive Plan time capsule.
