Port of Allyn

Port of Allyn has anchored this stretch of Hood Canal since 1921, when residents voted to build a dock and give their small North Mason community a proper waterfront gathering place. The port district that grew from that vote now covers most of North Mason, including Allyn and Belfair, with the town of Victor joining in 1973. At the center of it all is Allyn Waterfront Park, a recreational green space that's open to the public, with views of the water free to take in any day of the week. For weddings and private events, the park's gazebo is the centerpiece: 204 feet around with a dance floor built into the middle, a 17-foot ceiling at its peak, and eleven round tables with benches inside. There's no cap on guest count, and hosts are free to choose their own caterer and entertainment. A downstairs room with a sink, counter, and refrigerator gives the wedding party a place to get ready, and rental includes keys to the restrooms, power for the gazebo, and dumpster access, so there's nowhere offsite to haul the garbage. Nearby, North Shore Dock adds nightly and winter moorage with electrical hookups on Hood Canal, and Allyn Kayak Park offers a sandy beach and water access for guests who want to explore the shoreline before or after the celebration.
