Bremerton
Hotels and motels feature amenities such as swimming pools and restaurants with
easy access to highways and public transportation including the Washington State
Ferries. In addition, many properties afford sweeping water and mountain views.
Bremerton offers affordable, quality living in a spectacular water and mountain
setting. Located in Kitsap County in Washington State, the City of Bremerton
lies east of the Olympic mountains directly across Puget Sound from Seattle.
The ferry terminal and Bremerton Transportation Center at the foot of downtown
lead visitors into a growing arts community of galleries, theaters and shops.
Restaurants, museums and cafes contribute to the eclectic ambiance. And there's
much more to come. City officials and business leaders are bringing a new era to
Bremerton with plans for mixed-use waterfront development and a new government
center adjacent to the ferry terminal.
Guest of Bremerton have it all. Some take advantage of the amenities of Seattle
via a relaxing, scenic ferry ride across Puget Sound. A half hour's drive south
of Bremerton sits Tacoma. Close to home on the Kitsap Peninsula, Bremerton's
county neighbours offer a variety of things to enjoy as a resident or a visitor,
from farm life to retail districts.
Come to Bremerton. Walk along the shore where eagles dive for fish. Watch whales
play in the nearby inlet. Cross a bridge and gaze in awe at a postcard calibre
vista of the Olympic Mountains or Mount Rainier. Gallery hop, fine dine, or
enjoy an evening of top entertainment at the Admiral Theatre. Listen to music at
a cozy nightspot. Head for the city, the mountains, the water, or stay right
here in Bremerton - the center of it all.
Bremerton has one of the largest and most diverse official fine arts districts
in the Northwest. Centered in downtown Bremerton at 4th Street & Pacific Avenue,
the City's rich Arts District includes three museums, two performing art stages,
