TikTok Ranks Sleepy WA Town As One Of The Best Places For Spring Break

JEFFERSON COUNTY, WA — A new study of TikTok trends has found a surprising discovery: the sleepy town of Port Townsend, Washington may soon become a spring beach hot spot.

That may be a little surprising, considering that Jefferson County's median age as of 2020 was 59.5 years old— a little past peak spring break party age.

Still, MyBaggage.com says its study bears it out: analysts combed over Tiktok data, analyzing popularity, weather, cost of activity, Tripadvisor review score and TikTok views to determine the best spring break locations, and ended up ranking Port Townsend as the 10th best place to visit in the whole nation, even if some would describe Port Townsend's general populace as "extremely retired".

Port Townsend is famous for its Victorian downtown, scenic waterfront and vibrant arts community, so it could make for a fun, if unconventional, spring break destination.

It's a good thing spring break is almost over, it gives this author a whole year to teach his parents some TikTok dance moves before the next generation of partygoers busses in. Also fortunate: Port Townsend isn't likely to attract too big a crowd next spring break, as it has been handily overshadowed by another Pacific Northwest locale: the Oregon Coast. The coast ranked first on the list, reaping nearly 255 million views on TikTok. In comparison, Port Townsend logged just under 1 million views.

MyBaggage's full top ten best places to visit this Spring according to TikTok are:

1. The Oregon Coast, Oregon
