Kitchen tour slated in Port Townsend’s Kala Point neighborhood

PORT TOWNSEND — The 17th Annual Association of American University Women/University Women’s Foundation of Jefferson County Kitchen Tour, “A Kala Point of View,” will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

The self-guided tour offers the opportunity to explore eight residential kitchens in the Kala Point neighborhood of Port Townsend.

Each kitchen on the tour is selected on its own merit, as well as to contribute to a variety of styles and features, according to a news release.

“The kitchens we’ve selected in Kala Point show a nice balance of new construction and remodels,” said kitchen selection committee member Sandy Smith.

The hospitality center at the Kala Point Clubhouse, 310 Sailview Drive, will open at 9:30 a.m. for passports with detailed descriptions of the kitchens, raffle baskets, free refreshments and kitchen-design seminars.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased on the day of the tour and at the following locations:

In Chimacum at the Chimacum Corner Farmstand, 9122 Rhody Drive

In Port Ludlow at Dana Pointe Interiors, 62 Village Way

In Port Townsend at The Green Eyeshade, 720 Water St.; Kitchen & Bath Studio, 1210 W. Sims Way; Quimper Mercantile Co., 1121 Water St.; and What’s Cookin’, 844 Water St.

In Sequim at Over the Fence, 112 E. Washington St.

The tour is sponsored by the AAUW of Port Townsend and its philanthropic arm, the UWF.

Proceeds from the tour support scholarships and education programs in the Brinnon, Chimacum, Port Townsend and Quilcene school districts.

Anyone interested in supporting AAUW/UWF’s scholarships and education programs but not in buying a ticket may send a check made out to “UWF Kitchen Tour Donation” to UWF, P.O. Box 644, Port Townsend, WA 98368.
