Port Orchard and Poulsbo

Two wonderful places to see on the Olympic
Peninsula are Port Orchard and Poulsbo. They
each have wonderful waterfront.

Going south from Seattle when you reach

Tacoma you see the Dome Stadium on the

right the next exit is for Bremerton and 

highway 16. After going over the Tacoma

Bridge you will go about 15 miles. You

will see two exits for Port Orchard. You 

take the first exit turn right at the first 

light. Go until you come to a light which

is Bethel. You turn left go for several

miles past several shopping coming to a

round about then go straight. Stay on 

the road which will go left. You will see

the waterfront on the right. 

You will be able to see Bremerton Bay

as well. You follow the same road that

goes back to highway 16. Stay on the

highway when it comes to Bremerton 

where you will see the Navy Shipyard

ahead then turn left to highway 3. It is

just over 20 miles to Poulsbo. Follow

the signs. You can visit a newer part

of Poulsbo or Old Poulsbo as well.

In between Bremerton and Poulsbo

there is Silverdale as well. There 

isn't really a waterfront however 

you can see what looks like a lake

as well. 

Depending how much time you can

see all this in one day if you desire.

You stay on highway 3 you go over

the Hood Canal Bridge where you 

can visit Port Townsend off to the

east and going north to Port Angeles.

Over the Hood Canal there are other

places to visit as well. When you go

onto highway 101 Port Angeles is

less then an hour. Port Angeles is

close to the Olympic Mountains.

What a wonderful area. Tell you

more about that next time. 

A good idea to get a map for the

whole area.
