Port Ludlow

Your custom home is waiting for you
in Washington State's most beautiful
retirement destination — Port Ludlow


Port Ludlow is located on the Olympic Peninsula, just a short ferry ride and a scenic drive from Seattle.

Port Ludlow was discovered in the mid 1800's and was founded in the 1870's by Pope and Talbot as a logging and sawmill. A mere 100 or so years later, Pope and Talbot recognized the beauty of the area and decided to utilize it in the form of a resort and residential community.


Today this beautiful resort and residential community features a world class 27 hole golf course, a 300 slip, full service marina, and gorgeous views of the Cascade Mountains, the Olympic Mountains, and Puget Sound shipping lanes. Over 2500 residents call Port Ludlow home, and many more enjoy it's beauty when they come for a visit at one of the waterfront condominiums. Port Ludlow is a 2,000 acre master planned community designed to enhance the beauty of the natural surroundings.

There's much to do in and around Port Ludlow - hiking, fishing, boating, golf, clam digging, oyster picking, swimming, tennis, shopping, and more. The championship golf course at Port Ludlow was designed by Robert Muir Graves and was rated by Esquire Magazine as "one of the top 5 most scenic courses in the world." The 300 slip marina is full service with gas and diesel fuel available as well as supplies at the local marina store.

From Seattle take the ferry to Bainbridge Island. On Bainbridge proceed north on Highway 305 through Poulsbo. Once through Poulsbo, turn onto Highway 104 heading for the Hood Canal Bridge. Cross over the Hood Canal Bridge and turn right onto Paradise Bay Road at the very end of the Bridge. Follow that road for about 5 miles and you're in Port Ludlow!

From Edmonds take the Kingston ferry and follow the highway through Port Gamble to the Hood Canal Bridge. After crossing the Hood Canal Bridge, turn right onto Paradise Bay Road and follow that road approximately 5 miles to Port Ludlow.
