HAPPY OCTOBER, EVERYONE!

Hello Friends,


This summer has been one to remember! I had the pleasure of meeting so many new guests discovering Port Ludlow for the first time, along with many returning friends who have made it part of their tradition.


Our season was filled with celebrations, laughter, and even a few beautiful “I do’s” shared against the backdrop of our stunning surroundings. To all of you who joined us—or simply continue to follow along—thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.


As always, summer seemed to pass far too quickly. While I’ll miss the long, sunny days, I have to admit that fall may be my favorite season. The crisp air, shorter evenings, and brilliant colors of the changing leaves bring their own kind of magic. My drive across the bridge and onto Paradise Bay this time of year is nothing short of breathtaking.


The best part? The fun doesn’t stop with summer. We have a full lineup of events, fresh seasonal menus, and special offers all kicking off in October.


So take a drive out to see us this fall—you’ll enjoy the journey just as much as the destination.


Cheers


Dan Ratigan

General Manager
