Port Townsend, WA's Newest Business

Water Street Creperie

Most mornings I like to take a walk in the historic downtown area of Port Townsend and while the streets are empty and the sun is coming up you really notice if a store has gone out of business and something new has popped up for rent. The past 12 months or so it seems we have had more closings than I have ever seen.

This morning I saw a very positive and upbeat sign. A new store called the Water Street Creperie that just opened 2 days ago. What a lovely and delightful shop! Tastefully decorated and beautifully furnished with tables, chairs, counters and imaginative art work.

There are outdoor tables and chairs, and a pass through counter for street side purchases.

They feature crepes with breakfast ingredients, (eggs, cheese, etc.) or lunch type with turkey and ham, a vegetarian offering, plus wonderful desert crepes. The two I would most like to try (as soon as I lose 20 pounds) are the Graham Cracker Crumble, and the Goat Cheese and Honey. YUMMMMM!

I met one of the owners, (who else would be there at 7 am.?) a nice young man named Brandon Ellard, who told me he grew up in Port Townsend, and his friendly employee Jackson. I welcomed them and wished them luck. Brandon's partner James Larson was out of town. A couple of brave and daring young men, and the backbone of our country's economy.
