Community
Bremerton is a truly beautiful city located directly west of Seattle across the Puget Sound on the Kitsap Peninsula. It is bounded on the southeast and east by Sinclair Inlet and the strait of Port Orchard respectively. The city is divided by the Port Washington Narrows, a strait spanned by two bridges which connect the eastern and western sides of the city. With a population of approximately 40,500, it is the largest city on the Kitsap Peninsula. Bremerton is home to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and the Bremerton Annex of Naval Base Kitsap. The city boasts a lovely Boardwalk featuring an Historic Vietnam era Naval Ship Museum, The USS Turner Joy and gift shop. Historic boats, yachts and ships are moored in the marina; summer festivals, live music and entertainment are endless, and it is THE best place to watch fireworks on the fourth of July!
We are dedicated to building lifetime relationships with peers and patients in Washington State's richly diverse communities. Many know the Pacific Northwest as an attractive tourist destination with beautiful scenery, friendly people, and a host of cultural and recreational opportunities. These elements, and others, make Washington an excellent place to live.
