Port Orchard, WA
Port Orchard has been my home for over eleven years. The setting of this community in a rural area is so peaceful. The view of tall trees still cover most of the landscape and the various water areas from the sound to the lakes and ponds keep the local wildlife active.
If commuting into Tacoma or Seattle areas for work, the trip home seems to release all the daily pressure when crossing the Narrows bridge or hitching a ride on one of the Washington State ferries from the East.
Bremerton, WA
Home of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS). PSNS is Kitsap's largest employer, but the area is not only for 'shipyard' workers. There is so much more to be had with community events, museums, theatre, hiking trails, all types of water activities and more.
