Hello friends and visitors:
Spring is in the air on and the buzz is on to find fun things to do indoors and out. Whether you're looking for a little lucky sunshine, or a lovely place to celebrate the joys of spring, you'll find plenty of green on the Kitsap Peninsula...the natural side of Puget Sound. (TM)
We can offer you a relaxing weekend retreat where you can take a walk in the woods along the stunning Clear Creek Trail (thank you, Tex) located in sunny Silverdale. It's a perfect time to see the flowers and trees in bloom and hear birds sing. Visit the Kitsap Audubon Society to learn more about the 350-plus species that call the Kitsap Peninsula home.
On March 13, get happily green and celebrate Patrick's Day in true Irish style on the waterfront at the Bremerton Harborside fountains and the Bremerton Marina...a lovely place to drop anchor for the day or a bit longer. If you're looking for a place to stay for the night or week, our lodging members are happy to help you make reservations!
The Kitsap Peninsula is conveniently located on "The Natural Side of Puget Sound™ and easily reached by one of our famous ferries, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, sailboat, yacht, seaplane and, of course, by eco-friendly bicycle or kayak! For more info, VisitKitsap.com!
