Bremerton is the value play of the Puget Sound. Home to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, it has the bones of a classic Navy town — and a downtown that's been steadily filling in with breweries, restaurants, and apartments. The fast ferry puts you at Colman Dock in downtown Seattle in about 30 minutes, no car required.
Neighborhoods range from Craftsman-era streets in Manette to view homes above the Port Washington Narrows. For buyers priced out of King County, Bremerton is often the first place that makes the math work without giving up the Seattle connection.
