Just be aware that there is no direct ferry service to Canada or Seattle from Port Townsend.
It is a one hour drive from Port Townsend to Bainbridge where the ferry to Seattle leaves at 45-60 minute intervals and takes you to downtown Seattle in 30 minutes.
As for Canada, Port Townsend is a 45 minute drive from Port Angeles from which a ferry can take you to Victoria (Vancouver Island). Or you can take the 30 minute ferry from Port Townsend to Whidbey Island and drive another ~45 minutes to the south side of the Vancouver metro area.
There is no direct ferry service, but we found these to be quite acceptable choices.
