Business in North Mason also has grown. Today there's everything from two large grocery stores to doctors, lawyers and five full-service banks. One outlying area where people go to visit or work is just five miles south of Belfair on Highway 3, Allyn overlooks Case Inlet. This country village offers a unique view of often clear water and colorful skylines where folks can stop for coffee or go golfing at the Lakeland Village Golf Course. Union is another stop just outside of North Mason.
Community festivals spread like wildfire in the summer through North Mason County.
But even on an average week day, people can be entertained in North Mason. One can peruse antique shops or the local hardware store. The restaurants and bars are open late, and the bakeries open early. On Saturdays from May to October, Belfair hosts a weekly farmers market at the Belfair Elementary School.
