Maxwelton Beach

Maxwelton was first settled in 1905 by the Mackie Family. The name comes from a place in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland made famous in the song: Annie Laurie. The beach at Dave Mackie park (on Useless Bay) is a favorite spot to watch the sunsets over the Olympic Mountains and is near the outflow of Maxwelton Creek. The creek and its tributaries have formed Maxwelton Valley, an area that remains predominantly farm-like.

The Maxwelton Salmon Adventure is a non-profit group that has been working to restore salmon runs on Maxwelton and Quade creeks.

Maxwelton hosts a 4th of July parade with an old-fashioned hometown feeling.
