Why Live in Olalla

Olalla, a neighborhood in Port Orchard, features expansive forests and farms extending to the Colvos Passage. Located ten miles north of Gig Harbor, Olalla is renowned for its berry and grape crops, reflecting its name derived from the Salishan and Chinook word for "berry." The area is removed from commercial zones, with major shopping destinations like Albertsons and Target 8 miles away in Gig Harbor. The Olalla Community Club, established in 1906, serves as a hub for local events such as potlucks, music nights, and the annual Olalla Americana Music Festival. Anderson Point Park offers a scenic beach and views of the Colvos Passage and Vashon Island, while Banner Forest Heritage Park, 5 miles north, features 29 miles of hiking and biking trails. Housing in Olalla is limited, with fewer than 150 homes, often passed down through generations. Properties range from 1960s ranch-style homes on one to five acres to early 2000s Cape Cods on over five acres, many with water views. The neighborhood’s hillside location provides natural protection from flooding. Olalla Elementary School, part of the South Kitsap School District, is highly rated, appealing to families. Local attractions include the Olalla Bay Market and Landing, known for its sourdough pizza and historical memorabilia, and the Olalla Vineyard & Winery, offering locally produced wines. The area is safer than the national average, adding to its appeal for potential homebuyers. Banner Road Southeast and Olalla Valley Road Southeast connect residents to recreational areas and Seattle-bound ferries at Southworth’s port.
