Port Gamble
Port Gamble’s Walker-Ames house has been called “washington’s most haunted house.”
F
ollowing the completion of an extensive cleanup of the former mill site nearshore, which saw the removal of thousands of creosote pilings and 150 years of wood waste from the bay, Port Gamble’s waterfront is now a much cleaner, healthier environment.

Today, visitors enjoy many of the amenities that the early mill-town families enjoyed: a New England-style town with tree-lined streets, a community theater, a general store, a variety of shops and stores, and scenery ideal for a wedding or an evening out. Buried at Port Gamble’s cemetery is Gustave Englebrecht, a Navy sailor killed in 1856 in a battle between crewmembers of the USS Massachusetts and a Haida raiding party. Englebrecht was the first U.S. Navy sailor to die in action in the Pacific. Ghost tours are offered regularly, which take visitors through locations around town that have been associated with reported paranormal activity. Visitors can even visit the infamous WalkerAmes house, called by some “the most haunted house in Washington.”
