HAPPY MAY EVERYONE!
Hello Friends,
As the temperature rises, the rich soil of Chimacum valley warms beneath our feet —and with that comes the arrival of vibrant, fresh produce from our cherished local farm partners.
This is the time of year that gets our culinary team truly inspired. Chef Kyle and his crew are thrilled to be working with some of the most exceptional ingredients on the planet—right here in our own backyard. We're incredibly fortunate to be part of a community that values high-quality, thoughtfully managed farming.
We’re looking forward to the Chimacum Farmers Market kicking off a month early! Just down the road at Chimacum Corner, you’ll find the market open every Sunday (May-Oct) with familiar faces from farm favorites like Kodama, Red Dog, and many more. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the land and the people behind your food. After stocking up on seasonal treasures, we recommend heading over to Finnriver for a refreshing cider and a taste of our region’s vibrant community spirit.
And finally, let's not forget the two meaningful holidays this month: Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. Whether you're celebrating, honoring, or simply looking for a beautiful place to relax, Port Ludlow has something special waiting for you.
We hope to see you soon.
Cheers,
Dan Ratigan
General Manager

Review of the Month
Mom and mini get away
"Location, atmosphere, people, clean, comfort, food, quality, jet tub, fireplace, view, everything about our stay was well worth it, and definitely a must. Mom and 3 year old son get away. Go stay and enjoy. Well definitely be back."

The space felt full and intimate — exactly the right energy for a 50-person cocktail hour — with stunning views that added to the charm. The food was exceptional, the bar staff were fun and attentive, and every detail felt well cared for. It was effortless to host a beautiful gathering in such a thoughtfully run venue."
