Chatham Island is a fictional Island found in Puget Sound in Washington State. Known for its small town feel and summer tourism, Chatham is a rarity in this day and age. The town boasts a local population of over 1,000 residents, and hosts almost 4,000 tourists in the summer--all who come to enjoy the beautiful resorts on the island, the stunning ocean tours, and the history and culture of the beautiful Northwest.
The residents are a mix of Chatham natives who have lived and worked on or around the island their entire lives, and those who want the big city job but don't mind a commute for discounted rents and the safe, small town life. Because the island is only a 30 minute ferry ride to cities like Seattle, the best of both worlds is available for the residents of Chatham island--so long as they don't mind the draw backs of a small town. For all its charm, sometimes the residents of Chatham seem to know a little too much about one another. There's rumors, gossip, and scandal--some of it true, some just created out of boredom. After all, what town would be complete without a little drama amongst neighbors?
