Belfair

Set at the mouth of the Union River at Hood Canal, this town of 4,000-plus year-round residents is the gateway to the Hood Canal region on the Olympic Peninsula. On average, Belfair sees 60 inches of rain a year, but its summers are among a Pacific Northwest favorite, which is why tourists flock to the area. The annual “Taste of Hood Canal” features local artists, food, and a classic car show that highlights Belfair’s beauty at the perfect time of year.
