History

Established in 1960.

Originally settled by members of the S’Kallam tribe, Port Ludlow was named in 1841 by Lieutenant Charles Wilkes. In 1853, Port Ludlow became the site of one of the Northwest’s earliest sawmills.

During the Great Depression, Port Ludlow had declined to a near-​ghost town. The 1950s brought a new beginning to Port Ludlow with the increasing value of Real Estate. In the early 1960s, a floating bridge was constructed to span the Hood Canal. The bridge became an economic lifeline for the eastern part of the Olympic Peninsula. Thus, they began the first phase of a planned residential community at the site of the original Port Ludlow mill.

Today The Resort At Port Ludlow is committed to maintaining the integrity of the natural environment of Port Ludlow. In developing the area with homes, resort amenities and public utilities, environmental concerns are foremost in determining what projects to undertake and when.
