Port Hadlock Anchorage

Tucked into the southeastern corner of Port Hadlock Bay on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, this anchorage puts you in a quietly working waterfront setting with the town of Port Hadlock close at hand for provisions and a look around. The holding ground is reasonable, though you'll want to be mindful of the eelgrass beds in the area — local marine resource groups actively work to protect them, so drop your hook carefully. It's a solid base for exploring Hood Canal and the surrounding South Puget Sound waters.
