Martha and Mary - Living on the Peninsula

Undiscovered, but not for long…Located just nine miles west of Seattle, the Kitsap Peninsula is easily accessible by sea, land, or air from launching points all over Puget Sound. Unspoiled, unhurried, and unique, the Kitsap Peninsula offers a bounty of recreational, cultural, historical, and shopping opportunities for those who are looking for a break from the hectic pace of city life.

Imagine being able to take a ferry to Seattle but not having to worry about driving in Seattle or owning a home in Seattle?
