Hoodsport is a tiny coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Washington.

And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Hoodsport has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.

Also of interest is that Hoodsport has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Another notable thing is that Hoodsport is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Hoodsport is worth considering.

Hoodsport is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

One downside of living in Hoodsport, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 34.54 minutes every day commuting to work.
