Living in Hoodsport



Hoodsport is a tiny coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Washington. With a population of 419 people and two associated neighborhoods, Hoodsport is the 302nd largest community in Washington.

Another notable thing is that Hoodsport is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Hoodsport’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Hoodsport is worth considering.

Hoodsport is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.
