Port Ludlow, WA: Homes & Living
Port Ludlow is a boater’s and golfer’s community on a quiet cove about 25 minutes south of Port Townsend and roughly 1.5 hours from Seattle. Homes range from single-family houses to condos, many with saltwater views. It’s the kind of place where people come for a weekend and start thinking about staying.
Golf, Marina and the Resort
The Port Ludlow golf course is an 18-hole Robert Muir Graves design that winds through tall evergreens, with views of Ludlow Bay, Hood Canal and the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. The marina is a full-service facility with about 300 slips, permanent and short-term moorage, fuel and a small marina store. The Inn at Port Ludlow sits right on the water with a restaurant and event space.
Everyday Living
Port Ludlow has a couple of restaurants, a bank, a medical clinic, a mini mart with gas and its own fire station with medic support. For a full grocery run, Port Hadlock is about 10 minutes away, and Poulsbo and Silverdale are just over the Hood Canal Bridge.
Neighborhoods
Port Ludlow is organized into North Bay and South Bay, each with its own homeowners’ association. Both have a mix of single-family homes and condos, and the community overall has a resort feel without the resort prices of some other waterfront areas in the Pacific Northwest.
