Port Hadlock-Chimacum-Nordland-Irondale

These communities, known as the Tri-Area, have rolling hills, farms, miles of waterfront and recreational activity surrounded by a wealth of parks, playfields and campgrounds. The area is steeped in a strong maritime heritage. The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding teaches maritime trades near the Port Hadlock Marina. The U.S. Navy operates a supply depot on Indian Island. You'll find both Indian Island and Marrowstone Island are easily accessed from the mainland via a bridge. Day trippers and campers will enjoy historic Fort Flagler State Park on Marrowstone, along with many other public parks on both islands. Weekly during the summer, music lovers will enjoy the Olympic Music Festival in an old barn a few miles south of Chimacum. Sportsmen and women can try for trout on several fresh water lakes, as well as ply the saltwater bays and inlets for other species — or gather clams and oysters.
