Life in Belfair: Outdoor Living on Hood Canal
Looking to retire or escape to an outdoorsy spot away from the hustle and bustle? Belfair, Washington, is a town of less than 5,000 people tucked in a cove at the southern end of the Hood Canal. With ample green space and room to move, Belfair offers easy access to endless outdoor hotspots—both water and mountains. Still, it’s only a 20-minute drive to Bremerton for jobs, shopping, and the Seattle ferry.
