About the neighborhood
Welcome to Marrowstone Island (Nordland, WA)
Marrowstone Island is one of the Pacific Northwest’s best-kept secrets. Connected to the mainland by a narrow bridge, this peaceful island offers a step back in time—where the pace is slower, the air is salty, and nature is right at your doorstep. Nordland is a quiet, tight-knit rural community where forested roads lead to hidden beaches, farm stands, and stunning views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound.
It’s the ultimate destination for those looking to unplug, recharge, and immerse themselves in the outdoors.
