Bremerton Our Communities

Bremerton, located in Kitsap County, is a short 30-minute ferry ride across Puget Sound to downtown Seattle.  Rather than spending time in a car during rush hour, commuters can enjoy a latte, WIFI and gorgeous views of the Seattle skyline on their way to work.  Bremerton’s largest employer is the Federal Government with Naval Base Kitsap, which comprises several assets including the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton Naval Station, Bangor Submarine base and home port to the USS Nimitz, the Navy’s largest active aircraft carrier. 

Forbes ranks Bremerton in the top 20% of the nation’s Best Small Places for Business and Careers.  Like Bremerton, Silverdale is also a coastal city just 10 minutes north.  Silverdale contains Kitsap County’s only mall, The Trails outdoor shopping mart and is the location of the new Harrison Hospital and Medical Center, which serves a 3-county region.  Both cities offer views of Puget Sound, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains and Mt. Rainier, have small-town character and excellent outdoor recreational opportunities.
