What drying runs into in Port Townsend
Serving Port Townsend and the surrounding area, including Umatilla Hill, Rosewind, Dundee Hill, Rosecrans Terrace, Laurel Heights, Lynnsfield, Quimper Village, Cappy's.
Local housing stock
The typical Port Townsend house dates to 1981, with close to three fifths of the stock (61.2 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1981 with six in ten predating 1990, the housing runs from Victorian frame buildings to later additions, and all of it sits in a pocket that receives a fraction of the rainfall the rest of the region does.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 24.4 inches, 3.52 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 63.3 degrees in August; rain recorded at PORT TOWNSEND 0.6 SE 1 miles away and temperatures at PORT TOWNSEND 1.4 miles away. December is the wettest month at 3.52 inches of a 24.4-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the totals look like a dry climate on paper; what they do not show is a marine air mass that keeps relative humidity high through most of the year.
How water losses tend to end in Port Townsend
- Low rainfall with high humidity, so buildings are not wetted often but never dry out either
- Drainage and roof details built for a dry place, sitting in air that behaves like a wet one
- Materials that hold a high moisture content as their normal state, so a loss starts from a wet baseline
