Canal and Olympic Mountain views from forested streets
Olympic View overlooks the western edge of the Kitsap Peninsula, where the Hood Canal flows gently by. “The name speaks for itself,” says Pat Patton, a broker with Windermere Real Estate with eight years of experience. “Most houses have either views of the Olympics or the water. It’s neat living near the base of the mountain range, where you get more depth of perception, and it’s especially nice with the snow caps and blue background when you’re looking across.” Forested streets and open acres create a remote, secluded environment. In fact, Olympic View maintains a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. “In the neighborhood, you will see people walking up and down the street that’ll stop to talk and end up causing traffic because they stop in the middle of the street to say ‘Hi,’” says Joy Corbett, local and president of the Olympic View Community Club.

Hikes along the Hood Canal
Over a mile of narrow, dirt path weaves between Olympic View Park’s heavily forested acres. Mosses grow wild on trees, and wood posts mark the way to different portions along the trail. Anderson Landing Preserve spans over 66 acres on the edge of the Hood Canal and has a combined 2 miles of trail.
At the end of Anderson Landing Preserve you will find a stunning beachside in Olympic View WA.

Olympic View Community Club potlucks and festivals
Since 1930, the Olympic View Community Club has been a gathering space for events, including the Harvest Festival each fall. “One of the neighbors has an apple pressing machine, so they bring that down, and everyone brings apples, then we press and make our own apple juice and have a potluck,” Corbett says. “Usually, we try to have entertainment, and in past years, we’ve had some jazz groups, but you never know what you’re going to have. Then, of course, we put out games for the kids, and the building is decorated with pumpkins.”
Olympic View Community Club offers a place for family get togethers and celebrations.

Waterfront and inland homes spaced by acres
Single-family homes can be tucked between the trees or stand tall among cleared acres. “In general, most properties are at least an acre in size, which is a nice buffer. If you don’t love to have neighbors or see them every day, it’s a nice and secluded area that one can get away, while also being close to everything a higher populated area would have since Silverdale is close,” Patton says. More inland, new traditional farmhouses are priced between $995,000 and $1.6 million, depending on the property size, and ranch-style homes cost between $695,000 and $800,000. Properties that back up to Bangor Base can hear the National Anthem played in the early morning and Taps at sunset, which is a signal for “lights out.” Along the waterfront, styles include ranch-style homes and contemporary 2000 styles with Craftsman elements that list from $1.2 million to $2.8 million.
