Greetings from SUNNY Port Ludlow,

Does it seem like EVERYONE is talking about the power of sleep these days?  This is one of the things our guests talk about the most at the Inn - how well they sleep.  
 
Serious slumber will refresh you - and we would love to help you with this.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Lots going on yet this fall - September is our busiest of the year! We hope to see you for one of these events - or for a non-event time (that's a good time to practice your deep sleep!)

Labor Day weekend brings our Finnriver Farm Dinner - the last time at the existing location as the tasting room and production facilities move to "downtown Chimacum" very soon. 

The next week is the Wooden Boat Festival - and we will be hosting the wine bar again (upstairs of the Northwest Maritime Center).  Take advantage of our free shuttle (first come, first served) - more details below under the Marina heading.

The following week is the Fiber & Farm Tour - a wonderful way to experience our local farms.  

And THEN it is the Port Townsend Film Festival.  

If that is not enough, how about making plans for the Gourmet Retreat.

And be sure to join us for the "Joy of Cooking" Chef Dan's way - Rombauer Wine Dinner on Friday, October 30th. 

For our Seattle friends, this may be for you:  On September 15th, join 
Chef Dan at the
Cooking with Class Fundraiser at Salty's on Alki in West Seattle to support low-income seniors. Chef Dan will be making Neah Bay Black Cod with Eaglemount Raspberry-Ginger Cider deglaze and wilted Lacinato kale.  He will be joined by 21 chefs in this celebration of food for a really important cause. To sign-up or learn more visit www.seattledining.com/cwc or call 206-898-7687.
 
Decorations for Chocolate Decadence
This looks so simple, doesn't it?  Watch as Dave creates garnishes for Theo's Chocolate Decadence - one of our most popular desserts.

Two of our Front Desk Representatives, Jennifer and Lisa, had the chance to experience the Farm Dinner Package - and what a
great time they had.

Have had lots of visitors this summer and more to come through the fall - it is such a joy to share our little slice of paradise.  Hope to see you soon!

We had a good showing of "this is what summer means to me" photos submitted so it was a tough decision.
  
Yolanda Morris submitted this photo of her nephew and friend - doesn't it say YES to summer?  She won a "summer goody basket" for sharing this.  

Have you gone crabbing this summer? The Port Ludlow Marina Crab Derby is going strong. Pictured below is Captain Peter Joseph and his 7 3/4" crab. Congrats to Peter and all of our weekly winners this summer and good luck to the grand prize winner who will receive a $100 gift certificate to The Resort. Happy crabbing!

"I have never been treated better at an establishment than I was treated at The Inn. The staff not only took care of, but anticipated our needs. I can't say enough about the quality of this facility and its staff; they have my unequivocal recommendation."
