Central Kitsap offers a balanced lifestyle with easy access to Seattle and excellent recreational opportunities including saltwater and lake fishing, water and snow skiing, golfing, and boating in large protected waterways.
Three Navy bases are the area's major employers and impact Central Kitsap's student population: the Naval Submarine Base, Bangor; the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Keyport Division; and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton.
