Nordland sits on Marrowstone Island, where salt air and quiet lanes set an easygoing pace. Residents enjoy sweeping views of Admiralty Inlet, quick access to beaches, and a short hop to the arts, eateries, and Victorian streets of Port Townsend. Though it feels secluded, the community is part of Jefferson County and connects via causeway to mainland conveniences. Island-hopping is simple too: Washington State Ferries run from Port Townsend to Coupeville, handy for weekend escapes and commuting across the Sound.
Outdoorsy households thrive here. Fort Flagler Historical State Park anchors the island with miles of shoreline, forested trails, a boat launch, and preserved coastal fortifications. On the island’s west side, Mystery Bay State Park welcomes paddlers and sailors, with moorage, picnic spots, and sunset views. Beachcombing, crabbing, and birding are everyday pastimes; calm waters make it a favorite area for kayaking.
Families appreciate access to Chimacum farms and the well-regarded Chimacum School District, which offers intimate class sizes, strong arts, and hands-on career and STEM pathways. Daily essentials are close in Port Hadlock-Irondale, while healthcare, festivals, and independent shops in Port Townsend round out the lifestyle.
