Puget Sound is not just a pretty harbor that can be admired from the shoreline—it is a point of pride for the Downtown Bremerton community, housing the Pacific Northwest’s largest Naval shore facility, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, one of the neighborhood’s largest employers. “The area is very nautical, so a lot of the area is dominated by maritime history, workforce and activities, whether they’re pleasure or commercial,” says Lisa Hope, Director of Marketing and Development with the Kitsap History Museum.

Fourth Street finds from restaurants to shops
Dining options span down Fourth Street and southeast around the harbor. Flavor profiles and atmospheres vary from Axe and Arrow’s casual American dishes to Anthony’s at Sinclair Inlet, serving three-course seafood dinners with sunset waterside views. For weekly groceries, shoppers can stock up at Kitsap Community Food Cooperative in the neighborhood or drive to Safeway. On Saturdays, Bremerton Flea Market opens its doors to local vendors, selling artwork, home décor items and antiques. Fourth Street also houses specialty stores such as The Bremerton Mercantile, a general store, and the Game Wizard and Blue Sky Hobbies, a novelty store with private gaming rooms and a bar. “Bremerton really has this old city feel with walkability and retains that feeling with the older shops and stores,” Hope says. “I know the other shopkeepers by name; everyone works together and partners when they can because we want everyone to succeed.”

Pastimes and playgrounds around the Puget Sound
Harborside Fountain Park sits along Puget Sound, overlooking the Bremerton Ferry. This park stretches over 2 acres and has fountains resembling the tops of submarines and plaques paying tribute to Navy veterans. “The kids love to play in the fountains,” Hope says. “They go off intermittently, and you never know when they’ll pop – all of a sudden, you’re standing there, and it goes.” The Bremerton Boardwalk allows fishing and crabbing off the docks if it is done outside the breakwater. This strip fills with local vendors selling blackberry wine and food during the Bremerton Blackberry Festival, which is held annually and supports scholarship funds for Kitsap County students.
Outside the neighborhood, Kiwanis Park has a green space where dogs can run and there’s a treehouse-themed playground for children. A slide curves up the hillside, blending into the park’s surrounding natural landscape, sending kids down the slope back to the mulch for a soft landing. Kiwanis Park’s soccer fields and Warren Avenue Playfield’s football fields play host to local leagues battling for bragging rights. Children also walk the bridge and climb the netting on Warren Avenue Playfield’s playground.
