Kitsap Peninsula | Relocation Package | Bremerton, Silverdale, Naval Base Kitsap | The Journey Begins

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with HOMEFRONT Realty WA State Licence #23384

Welcome to the Beautiful Kitsap Peninsula located on what is called "West Puget Sound" of Puget Sound which lies between the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges in Washington State. Surrounded by 236 miles of salt water shoreline and views you can only describe as "wow" you begin your journey to the new place you are going to call home.

 

Traveling to the area can be done from the newly redesigned Tacoma Narrows Bridge or from the remarkable Washington State Ferry system. No matter which route you choose you will be amazed at the water, at the beauty and you will know that what others have said is true...."this is God's Country".

 

The area offers some of the best views of mountains and water as well as some of the best boating and recreational opportunities in the Greater Puget Sound Area. Within a mile radius you have several attractions and facilities to visit and explore. Welcome to the Kitsap Peninsula.

 

Relocation should be an adventure, an experience, something to cherish and document. Starting a new life in a new area can be the most exciting time of someone’s life. Over the last several years I have relocated several times, from the West Coast to the East Coast and back to the West Coast. I have driven to Alaska on relocation from the Mojave Desert of California. I know that if you don't plan and prepare it can be a very scary time.

 

When you begin your journey choose some type of "theme" to make the adventure memory filled. You might choose to collect something (I collected spoons and one trip shot glasses) from every state if you are moving cross county. Another theme could be to document through pictures or video the different gas prices across a state or across the country. You could count the different types of cars you see and snap a photo at each one as you drive on by. These are the fun projects that I have done. I have traveled thru 38 of our Great States on different relocations. I have seen small town America up close and I have seen the city lights of New York City and have loved it all!! I turn my relocations into an experience that I can remember and share with others.

 

 

Listed below are several articles I have written for all my new neighbors.

Jo,

Absolutely fantastic localism post!  I am super impressed!  I've never been to Washington, but this post makes me want to plan a vacation to your beautiful area.  And I love all the work you do for military families.  You know how special that is to me!  I know your buyers and sellers think you are very special.

Jan, Thank you so much. When you have lived away from "home" for 3 years it is very easy to enjoy it again!! Not many people get to choose where they live - I moved to Bremerton because of all of these things. I am so glad to be back!!!

Melissa, this is the final post of the "relocation contest" in the Local Expert group. Those posts were all "entered". Yesterday was the last day and we have until 3/4 to compile our list. So this is my list.

This next month there will be a "military relocation contest" in the military relocation group. I have already done an outline of 16 articles :)
