Bremerton Revitalized

Bremerton hasn't always been a great place to live. It suffered years of neglect, influence of a Naval shipyard, and decline due to the economy. But with its perfect location to the mountains,water sports heaven, plus the diverse culture of Seattle just a ferry ride away, it has come back around to a great place to live. Within the last few years, the city has revitalized its downtown area into a wonderful shopping and art filled metropolis. The Admiral Theatre hosts some of the most incredible, world reknown entertainers out there and in a wonderful refurbished theatre. The harbor has been developed into a glorious park-like area with restaurants, coffee houses and an old naval ship open for tours. During the annual Blackberry Festival, there are numerous booths set up filled with creative arts and crafts from all over Washington. The first Friday of every month is dedicated to an artwalk with live entertainment on street corners and in shops. You'll also see our Mayor, Patty Lent, out and about meeting and greeting people.
It's a great city and well worth a visit!
