Dewatto has to be the prettiest ghost town on earth. The community's name comes from an Indian word meaning "home of evil spirits who make men crazy." A couple dozen people live full-time, their hillside homes hidden among trees above the slender bay, but the store, post office and school that nearly a century ago hugged the water are gone. Only a few summer cabins remain.
A small park with views at the Great Bend, with a gazebo, boat ramp, and water access.
A 23,000-acre working forest on the southeastern portion of the Hood Canal. Tahuya offers recreation opportunities primarily for off-road vehicle riding (ORV), but also for horseback riding, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, camping and other uses. This popular year-round destination area attracts more than 150,000 motorized recreationists and 50,000 non-motorized recreationists each year.
