The community-based monthly newspaper called the North Bay Review, services the Allyn-Grapeview area.

Grapeview is home to a small Puget Sound Maritime Museum, and the Fair Harbor Marina.

Allyn-Grapeview is located on the western shore of North Bay region of Puget Sound's Case Inlet.

From the 1870s to the 1920s, transportation needs for Grapeview (once known as Detroit) and other communities along Case Inlet were once served by a small flotilla of steamboats.
