Known as Washington’s best kept secret (and one of the most haunted towns in the Pacific Northwest), Port Gamble is a quiet little spot on the Kitsap Peninsula, situated on the shores of scenic Hood Canal. Once a bustling town with a prominent sawmill, these days, it’s home to fewer than 1,000 residents.

But the Port Gamble General Store and Cafe, which has been around seemingly forever, is still going strong. In fact, it’s more popular than ever.

The Port Gamble General Sore and Cafe is located 32400 N Rainier Ave NE.
