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 bountiful 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. Imagine taking an afternoon to hike scenic Hurricane Ridge or beautiful Green Mountain. Imagine opportunities to golf on one of several golfing courses. Imagine grabbing a bite to eat at one of the many waterfront restaurants. This may be the reason people prefer commuting to work but coming home to the Peninsula. This may be the reason military families find rest when transferred to the Puget Sound. Whether you enjoy camping, swimming, kayaks, indoor or outdoor athletics, fine dining or rich culture and art, the Kitsap Peninsula is the gem of the Pacific Northwest.
When you live on the Kitsap Peninsula and work for Martha and Mary, you get the best of both worlds.
