Union sits along the southern sweep of Hood Canal, where tides glint beneath Olympic Mountain ridgelines and life revolves around the water. Locals launch kayaks at daybreak, then gather for sunset at the deck of the waterfront Alderbrook Resort & Spa, a landmark for spa days, sailing, and weekend brunch. Golfers head uphill to the fir-lined fairways at Alderbrook Golf, while food lovers sample seasonal finds at the Union City Market. Outdoor time is easy: sand and sun-warmed water await at Twanoh State Park, and trailheads for the Staircase area of Olympic National Park sit an easy drive away.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel and K–8 learning at Hood Canal School District, with additional academic, arts, and sports options in nearby Shelton. Weekend visitors often become full-time neighbors after discovering storybook cabins at Robin Hood Village Resort, independent galleries, and year-round shellfishing on pristine tidelands. Daily needs and bigger-city conveniences are within reach in Hoodsport and throughout Mason County, yet Union retains its easy pace, friendly marinas, and starry, quiet nights.
Whether you’re upsizing to take in those panoramic canal views or listing a getaway cottage, Agent Pronto can introduce you to proven local real estate agents who know how to navigate Union’s unique waterfront market for buyers and sellers alike.
