Our Working Waterfront ~ 1/21/24

KPTZ’s Chris Bricker joins co-hosts Eron Berg, Port of Port Townsend’s Director, and Port Commissioner Pam Petranek to explore people, boats and stories surrounding our Working Waterfront. Nestled in along the Working Waterfront and across from the Boat Haven Marina, the aromas of freshly baked muffins and fresh coffee spill from the windows and doors of the Marina Cafe. The eatery, run by Jen Takaki and Shawn Meyer, serves up hearty food to a mixture of shipwrights and town folk rolling through for coffee and a muffin, a take-out special, or a sit down breakfast or lunch. Part of the week, there’s even an evening tapas menu. We thought we’d stop in today and visit with Jen, Shawn, and some of the regulars to see what hopes and dreams lie ahead for 2024.

Booklovers’ Cafe – Daniel J. Brown, Boys in the Boat

(Reprise Airdate: January 16, 2024) Once again this tremendous book is Number 1 on the New York Times bestseller list boosted by the movie directed and produced by George Clooney.
