Meet Alexis
Your host, and the owner of the space, Alexis believes that feeling special is an important part of the human experience, and being of service truly fills her cup.
After years of hosting meetings and gatherings of all kinds in venues across the state of Washington, Alexis wanted to create a venue that had it all: silverware on site, phone chargers on hand, and chairs that are both comfortable and stylish. Packed with amenities, yet still bare enough to be your blank canvas: 821 Washington is for you.
In addition to her entrepreneurial pursuits, Alexis is proud to serve her community as Vice Chair of the City of Port Townsend's Arts Commission, a member of AAUW, and as Founder and Board President of the Quimper Events Collective, a non-profit association for event professionals in Jefferson County.
In her (little) spare time, Alexis enjoys Port Townsend's many festivals, reading about local history, writing, adventuring with loved ones, and traveling near and far. Alexis lives in central Port Townsend with her husband and two tuxedo cats.
Alexis views her community involvement as a living love letter to Port Townsend and considers being a part of the downtown small business ecosystem a lifelong dream come true.
Alexis also manages The Washington, a four-suite boutique hotel located on the second story above 821. Each suite is beautifully appointed with original local art, thoughtful amenities, and special touches throughout. Check it out!
Quimper Events Collective is the first and only member-run non-profit business association in Jefferson County! Focused on event professionals, QEC maintains a stunning online vendor directory to connect locals with talented service providers. Click the link above!
