How to Use This Port Ludlow, Washington Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Port Ludlow, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Port Ludlow.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Port Ludlow, Washington

Port Ludlow is a locality in Jefferson County, Washington, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,959. The population density is 99.1 people per km². Port Ludlow is located at 47.9146°N, 122.6951°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 98365.

Port Ludlow occupies a sheltered reach of coastline where the salt air carries the persistent, cool dampness of the Pacific Northwest. It lies 13.2 miles north of Poulsbo, WA (from Poulsbo, WA: bearing 353°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south-southeast of Port Hadlock-Irondale. The landscape is defined by the dark, vertical lines of conifers that crowd the shoreline, their needles filtering the low, gray light that lingers over the surface of Port Ludlow. Across the water, the jagged, snow-dusted profile of the Olympic Mountains provides a distant, immutable backdrop to the quiet movement of the tide. Inland, the terrain rises into wooded ridges, providing a buffer between the harbor and the quiet seclusion of Larson Lake, while the persistent flow of Criss Creek carves its way through the undergrowth toward the sea. Nearby, the managed timberlands of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) State Resource Management Area offer a stark contrast to the manicured docks, while the small, forested silhouette of The Twins serves as a sentinel at the harbor’s mouth.

Industry in Port Ludlow has transitioned from the heavy, rhythmic labor of nineteenth-century sawmills into a quiet economy centered on leisure and the stewardship of the water. The echoes of the past, when massive timber ships once crowded the docks to export milled wood, have faded into the measured pace of modern maritime recreation. Residents today look toward the water with a different intent, valuing the stillness of the cove and the seasonal shifts that dictate the rhythm of the local docks. Life here is influenced by the proximity to West Valley, which remains a distant, quiet reference point in the local geography, yet the focus remains firmly on the harbor. There is a particular clarity to the mornings here, as the mist lifts from the water to reveal a community that has found a deliberate, measured equilibrium between its rugged, timber-laden history and the slow, quiet evolution of its present day.

About This Port Ludlow Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Port Ludlow, Washington. Coordinates: 47.914582, -122.695066. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Port Ludlow includes the ZIP code (98365), telephone area code (425), county seat of Jefferson County (Port Townsend), and school district assignment (Chimacum School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
