The recent economic downturn has had its affect on local retail business. Two Big Box stores - Linens & Things and Circuit City have recently closed their doors. But at the same time, Lowe's has opened a new location directly behind Costco, and Kitsap Credit Union is building a new branch at the corner of Myhre & Ridgetop.

The following information is from the official website of the Central Kitsap School District

The Silverdale and Greater Kitsap area offers a wide variety of activities and opportunities for individuals and families seeking a great place to live, work, or raise a family.

Local highlights making Central Kitsap a highly sought after location in which to live include:

  • The most affordable housing in the greater Puget Sound area.
  • Kitsap-Mall--the largest shopping center on the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas.
  • Easy access to Seattle for additional plays, concerts, cultural events, or shopping.
  • Easy access to a multitude of recreational opportunities including hiking, skiing, boating, camping, biking, kayaking--almost any sport or activity an individual may wish to pursue.
  • One of the most scenic areas in the Pacific Northwest to live--nestled between the Cascade and Olympic Mountains.

Rich,

We lost the same two big retailers here. Looks like your market is much like this one.
