Trashy, ugly and hostile place. - 3/30/2022
I moved here a couple months ago, and I can't wait to leave. There's so much trash everywhere, and random needles on the sidewalks. It's also really spread out, and hard to get around without a car. People seem extremely guarded and hardly anyone says hello to each other (I guess that's normal for being so close to Seattle). There's also nowhere you can go where you won't see other people. I went deep into the woods, trying to take a break from having to be around other people, and I still ran into folks every few minutes. The traffic is out of control. I don't understand why anyone would ever choose to live here, but a LOT of people do. It's like Fred Meyer and Taco Bell decided to start a community together.... Did I mention the trash? It's just a really ugly town, trash aside. If you like vast wastelands of parking lot next to boarded up, vacant storefronts and meth addicted homeless people, you'll love

Cost of Apartment - 2/25/2015
Bremerton, WA Apartment cost of Renting is to high here to live! why does it have to be so high for a small town.
Its not Seattle or New York give me a break. Landlords are here to take your money and don't care if you have any money left over to pay any other bills or buy groceries.
I say don't move to Bremerton unless you are rich! Or well off.
You need a state and city that cost less to live in and you will have money to do something fun with in the month with.

Renting a Apartment in Bremerton, WA cost to much for Disable person like me I'm
45 years old my Husband 71 years old We pay $841 a month for low housing apartment on the east side of Bremerton, WA Where I live they say it goes by your income how can that be I'm on SSI and My Husband on SSI.
I get $711 a month, so you see what they are doing!
They are change people more rent then what they make, a month to live on to live here it take to income to live in this Apartment in Bremerton, WA
When what people get on SSI their Rent should be only $374 a month to live here.
So you see live in this town they take all your money here to live so if you are on SSI you need to live down South in a cheaper town, where SSI money goes farther in the month. Washington State is not a State for people on SSI.

Just a horrible place to live - 7/15/2011
I totally agree with some of the reviewers here. Bremerton is absolutely not a good place to be. We are a military family. We moved from California. All I had heard about Bremerton and the whole Kitsap County area was that people were "militantly polite" and the place was "just beautiful" so I was excited to get up here. I have been here for a little over a month, and I can tell you that I can back up what a lot of the reviewers have said. I lived in San Diego and the people there were not half as rude and impolite as the people I have encountered here. Yes, the scenery is absoultely breathtaking, but after looking at it for ten minutes, you find there is nothing of substance in this place. There is nothing to do, nowhere to go, and I feel absolutely sorry for all the people who reside here. It is great for retirement, but we are a young military family of three, and we expected a lot more, being as it is supposed to be a "navy town". I totally regret coming here, I cannot wait to

On Bremerton - 4/9/2011
Bremerton still is not a great place to live. As a matter of fact, if you can avoid it, I would suggest it. It is dirty and unkempt. The Brem Revitalized review must have been written by someone working for the City in the tourism area. Actually, now that I see the "mayor" statement at the end lol. The only good things about this place is it is a short drive or ferry ride to Seattle - if you like that; Driving to the Olympic Mountains is a decent drive around a couple hours to some of the spots in the Eastern Olympics i.e. the areas of Lake Cushman, Staircase, Lilliwaup; and the hiking trails are beautiful out that way. But you have to drive a ways to find any decent trail or river. There is water here, but I wouldn't say it's a water sports haven. People do kayak out on the water..not sure what else. The water here is dirty (large shipyard), has no sand (small rocks, tons of broken clamshels...and lots of bird poo from the seagulls). The lakes are no different. Dirty, very small

Bremerton Revitalized - 11/29/2010
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,

Amazed at how downtown Bremerton has developed! - 5/10/2010
Went to visit my hometown of Bremerton/Silverdale. Downtown Bremerton was a nice place to celebrate Mother's Day at (The conference center held an all-you-can-eat buffet). The weather was good, prompting many of the locals and Seattle visitors to mingle pleasurably.
The negative feedback on this site is not at all current. A few years back, the city of Seattle promoted the idea of Bremerton, WA (1 hr ferry ride or 1 hr drive from Seattle, 35 mins to Tacoma)being a 'bed-room community'. It has brought increased attention from residents of other suburbs for relocation purposes and hence, the commercial sector of Bremerton is rapidly filling the rising demand for services commonly expected in a big city. For example, Starbucks, Subway, Cold Stone, and Howard Johnson have recently made downtown Bremerton home. Several independent art galleries are in business along the parallel street to the main road leading out from the ferry dock.
For those needing punk pop culture cache
