Jefferson County Cemetery
Also known as Sailors Cemetery , Soldiers Cemetery
Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington, USA
Established 1890s; located directly west of Redmen Cemetery.
AKA Soldiers and Sailors Cemetery; Sailors
Cemetery.
1899 survey designated areas for British Seamen, the Chinese, the Coast Seaman's Union, the Fireman's Union, the IOGT [Good Templars], the IOOF [Odd Fellows], and the Knights of Pythias.
As of 2013 the site is completely overgrown and no markers remain.
While this property north of Laurel Grove was platted in 1899, the story of county-managed burial grounds in Port Townsend dates back to the 1870s with the last possible burial in the County Cemetery occurring in 1945. The property has been largely obscured by overgrowth in the years since, but was the subject of an archaeological assessment in 2020 and most recently, a JCHS research project—both commissioned by the county.
