Union (Washington)

Union is located in the Kitsap Peninsula region of Washington state.

Union is a picturesque community on the south shore of Hood Canal, actually a fjord and not a canal at all. Views take in the beautiful Olympic Mountains in nearby Olympic National Park.

Thick forests of majestic pine and deciduous trees and hundreds of creeks and estuaries dot the coastline. Harbor Seals, Otters, Sea Lions, Bald Eagles and Blue Herons are common sites while the occasional viewing of an Orca or Grey Whale is not out of the question.
