Port Townsend is home to an active group of pétanque players, including Bekah Howe, the first American to win a medal for the United States.
The 125-year-old French game involves tossing a boule (ball) underhanded towards a smaller target ball (or cochonnet) and lands closer than the competition or knocking it further away from an opponent’s boule.
