The beautiful campus of the University of Puget Sound is situated some 50 miles south of Seattle, in the city of Tacoma. Founded in 1888, the campus’s traditional brick architecture and park-like setting provide a gracious location for a residential workshop. It is close to Puget Sound at nearby Point Defiance State Park (or here), and to the southeast, one can make an easy day trip to spectacular Mount Rainier.
Famous for its variety of offerings, the city of Tacoma offers hours of sightseeing as well as shops, galleries, restaurants, and museums, including the Washington State History Museum, and the Museum of Glass. The Port Townsend Early Music Workshop is based in Trimble Hall, one of the University’s student residence halls. Participants stay in comfortable single rooms grouped into small units sharing bath and common rooms.
Each floor also has rooms that can be used as classrooms or rehearsal rooms. Nearby are more classrooms and attractive dining facilities including a coffee shop, which serves espresso drinks, ice cream, sandwiches and salads. Large open green spaces, wooded walks, and many interesting campus buildings surround Trimble Hall.
