Yeah, Port Townsend and Port Angeles were duking it out to be the major city. Then Teddy Roosevelt created Olympic National Park and Port Townsend entered a state of arrested decay for decades.
We're sure not in that state now though.

The arrested decay really resulted from the Alaska Gold Rush. Seattle became the outfitting center and the railroads gave up on reaching the peninsula.
