Quiet waterfront living on Hood Canal’s North Shore.
Tahuya is an unincorporated community tucked along the North Shore of Hood Canal in Mason County, Washington. There are no stoplights, no strip malls, and no crowds. What you will find is miles of quiet waterfront, towering evergreens, and some of the best kayaking, hiking, and oyster foraging in the Pacific Northwest.
Surrounded by Tahuya State Forest, the area offers extensive trail networks for hiking, mountain biking, and off-road vehicles. The calm waters of Hood Canal are ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming in the warmer months. Belfair, about 25 to 30 minutes away, is where you will find the nearest grocery stores and restaurants.
About 90 minutes from Seattle via the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Tahuya feels genuinely remote while still being an easy weekend drive. It is the kind of place where you can watch the sunset over the Olympic Mountains from your hot tub and not hear a single car go by.
