Welcome to Port Ludlow

Port Ludlow was discovered in the mid 1800s and was founded in the 1870s by Pope and Talbot as a logging and sawmill operation. 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 Port Ludlow is a 2,000 acre master planned community designed to enhance the beauty of the natural surroundings. The beautiful resort and residential community of Port Ludlow offers gorgeous views of the Cascade Mountains, the Olympic Mountains, Port Ludlow Bay, the Inner Harbor, 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 and stay at one of the many waterfront and water view condominiums and the hotel.

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 18 hole 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.
