Port  Ludlow is a planned community on the Quimper Peninsula near Port Townsend, Wa, with lovely marina, golf, club house and tennis. Port Ludlow Associates is a construction company that has done a lot of the new home projects over the years. 

Their current projects in the works are: 

 Port Ludlow Marina Expansion- this will add 64 slips to the marina,  from 36-60 feet,  with a general upgrading of some existing facilities. 

Ludlow Cove II - A waterfront development of single family homes with smaller floor plans for those who prefer to downsize, or use as a vacation home.  Land work will begin in about 6 months. 

Olympic Terrace- Half acre lots with three models to choose from and 35 homesites available.  These lots feature mountain views and private treed settings, with one third of the development slated for open space. 

 There is also a plan for a new commercial center.  Included in the plans are a restaurant on the waterfront, retail space, a dock masters office, Port Ludlow Yacht Club space with meeting room, showers and bathrooms for boaters.  This new area will be connected to the resort by a boardwalk. 

Port Ludlow will be built out with 2250 homes.  They are terraced with views of surrounding water, mountains and forrest.  What a great time to invest in this exceptional community. 

Port Ludlow is a resort community near Port Townsend,  built around the beautiful Port Ludlow Golf course.  It consists of 2- 9 hole rounds; The Tides, featuring water holes, and the Timbers, which has natural forest scenery.

Golf Week Magazine recently ranked this course among the top ten in the state of WA.

The club has a golf professional to organize play and give lessons,  Niblick's Cafe, and pro shop.

The Course has daily rates , or membership for $5000 ($8000 for couples) which provides unlimited golf with no greens fees, preferred tee times, discount rates on carts. 

Port Ludlow  I am sure people living in Port Ludlow would not consider the area as a neighborhood of Port Townsend, but it is not a destination people seek out, as much as it is  a bedroom community of Port Townsend.  A lovely resort setting built around a beautiful little harbor and magnificent golf course, with   many of the homes going back to the 70's, and new developments are being built now with room for lots more. 

The Port Ludlow Resort is a destination resort for golfers and boaters with a nice restaurant, clubhouse and rooms with water views.  The same golf, clubhouse  and tennis facilities are also a perk for homeowners in Port Ludlow with a very small montly fee. 

There is really no town, but a couple of banks, one or two real estate offices, coffee shop and gas station with market.  Most people in Port Ludlow go to Port Townsend for shopping, church and dining out, with an alternative being to cross the Hood Canal Bridge and drive to Poulsbo.

Homes range from the low $200,000's to well over two million with views of Admiralty Bay, Mount Ranier and lush green fairways.  Prices have fallen over the past 3 years as they have elsewhere in Jefferson County and there are some great buys in this lovely area.

Guardian Angels for Soldiers Pets

Ever think about what happens to a soldiers pet if he or she is called to active duty in a foreign country? 

I just read in a small local publication called the Port Ludlow Voice, about a program to foster pets of soldiers who are being deployed, or have an emergency situation.  This is done through the Military Pet Assistance Program to arrange foster care for the pet, with the plan to reunite them upon the soldier's return home.

It is called the " Guardian Angels for Soldiers Pets."  Applicants are carefully screened to make sure they will provide a safe and loving home and a secure environment.  For more information you can go to

guardianangelsforsoldierspet.org, or call for information: 501-325-1591

Last month one of our favorite Realtors was hit by a car while riding her recently purchased motorcycle.  She had multiple injuries and broken bones, and tho she is in a wheelchair  her spirit is still in tact and she sounds great.  

Recently  an e-mail went out to our board to find help with building her a ramp to get in and out of her home.  Before I could even think about it, the answer came from the "Bluebills", a local organization of retired Boeing employess living on the Olympic Peninsula.

                                                          Port Ludlow Bluebills

Organized in 1996 as a part of the Boeing Retiree Program and named after Bill Boeings 1915 plane, called the Bluebill.  Their main focus is helping those in need with various building needs in the line of rehab and repairs.  They currently have 1500 members and work all over the Olympic Peninsula, repairing, moving families, and organizing Christmas charity.
