There is a strong sense of community in Port Ludlow. Both the Bay Club and the Beach Club have paid staff but the staff operates at the direction of elected volunteer boards. The Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC) is also a volunteer elected board. Almost all of the homes in Port Ludlow belong to organized homeowners associations, and those are run by elected volunteers.
