Waited 40 minutes while they helped 3 people. My turn and she goes to lunch. These people can be replaced by electronic kiosks salt a fraction of the price.

I drove all the way from Port Angeles to get a quick title and everyone there was super helpful. I was impressed by how eager they were to get everyone taken care of. Port Townsend is fortunate do you have them!

Everyone was really nice and friendly. We forgotten our money order when applying for our passport and they let us go make a money order in the nearby Safeway and come back. The building is also cool with historical items in it.
