Kitsap County is located on the Kitsap Peninsula in northwestern Washington state, in between the Olympic Peninsula and Seattle on the mainland. The county is the smallest in the state by land area, but the third most densely packed in terms of population, which is just over 250,000. It sits in the Puget Sound and has over 250 miles of shoreline. The major metro area here is Bremerton-Silverdale; other cities include Poulsbo, Bangor, Port Orchard, Bainbridge Island, Keyport, and Suquamish.
This county is known as the home of Naval Base Kitsap, created out of NSB Bangor, NB Bremerton, NUWC Keyport, and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The Kitsap Peninsula is, of course, accessible by land, but the ferry system is a much more common and efficient way to reach Seattle or Tacoma.
