Most places in Port Townsend will require 2 night stays on the weekend. This forces you to do Friday and Saturday stay.
The best way is to drive yourself--its a walkable city by staying some place in the city. Its mostly shops you can walk around and see and you are right on the water. There are some boat tours you can take from there.
I haven't been there in a few years --I cant comment on the restaurants.
When coming back I suggest using the Kingston or Bainbridge island ferries to go across. You could do Port townsend ferry to Coupeville but then you need to take another ferry Clinton-Mulkateo and the Port Townsend ferry on weekends will require reservation because its a smaller ferry to use.
