Quaint historic towns around Washington & Oregon

[myredracer]

Can anyone suggest any attractive quaint historic small towns that would be nice to visit in WA & OR? Thinking of ones that have been kept up and/or gone through a revival of historic commercial areas and have areas with old heritage/historic houses? Port Townsend in WA and Rosedale in OR are ones that come to mind for example. Maybe ones that are on the smaller side and not overun with summer tourists.

We made an unplanned detour off I-5 on the way to Portland last summer and found ourselves in Rosedale. Had a nice stop and lunch and walked around the old downtown. What a lovely historic town with residents and shop owners that have an obvious great pride in it! Super friendly people too.

Thanks!

Astoria while not being small has some great older sections. The maritime museum is second to none, the column, waterfront trolley and all of the Lewis and Clark interpretive centres are excellent.
Old town Portland, Voodoo donuts the Saturday market are interesting.

Old town Mcminville is kind of unique.The Evergreen Aviation museum is awesome if you are into aviation and space history
There are also many quaint and unigue little towns along the Oregon coast. Just a matter of finding them and enjoying
