Totem pole marks the point at the Port Ludlow Inn.
I had heard from several friends about what a wonderful time they had at Port Ludlow (probably at the resort), so as we were headed south down Admiralty Inlet, we made the right turn and headed for Port Ludlow. Finding a place to tie up at the marina wasn’t a challenge at all, but for larger boats like Sea Eagle, you’re pretty much stuck on the outside of the breakwater.
The marina itself was quaint and the staff and locals were very friendly. I had to really laugh at the power pedestal we plugged into, which had obviously been pulled off a time or two and repaired with duct tape and plumbers tape. When I joked about the condition with the Marina Manager, she laughingly replied, “yeah, running a marina would be easy, if it wasn’t for the boaters!”

It wasn’t until dinner time that we realized what a jewel was hidden away here, at the entrance to Hood Canal. The chef at the Fireside Restaurant is the real deal. We had dinner out on the portico, overlooking the marina and the food was exquisite! Melt in your mouth scrumptious and a big, happy smile that just won’t go away, best describes the food.
The wait staff also did an outstanding job. One of the best meals I’ve had in years, so you know I’ll be back for more.
You should try it! 😉
