Bremerton Apartments for Rent

Gettin' Your Pad In Bremerton

First off, let's clear the air of any rumors that may need to be put down. Bremerton is located in an area with an (ok, only somewhat) undeserved reputation for being rainy all the time. Truth be told, you have a good chance of not actually having to sport a slicker while out and about in this city of nearly 40,000 in the Seattle metro area. Speaking of Seattle, Bremerton residents - of which you may soon be one - are fond of taking a 55 minute ferry ride across Puget sound to reach it. But they've chosen to make Bremerton their home, and for good reason. Their thinking might go something like this: ""Seattle is a nice place to work and, I suppose, pay parking fines, but I wouldn't want to live there."" This diverse city built upon the might of its port and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has a hybrid working class/military vibe threaded throughout its suburban streets. But hey, don't just take our word for it, check it out for yourself!

The Lowdown On Bremerton

If model train set towns could more easily accommodate water, Bremerton would be like a giant version of such a table top village. But with flesh and bone people. And taxes. Ok, it's a tortured analogy, but cut us some slack, eh?

Bremerton's global address puts it on the Kitsap Peninsula, and firmly within the county of the same name. This Peninsula, which also contains some of the only actual rainforest to be found in North America, is just across the waterway from Seattle, Bremerton's big brother. And much like a real big brother, it gets to do most of the cool stuff.

But not all of it. Hey, the babies of the family get certain perks too! Bremerton's quality of life is marked by assorted recreational opportunities that make it a real head turner among its peers. In this case peers being, presumably, other cities in that <100,000 size range. Skating centers, golf courses, paintball shooting ranges (so fun, but avoid getting hit in the face!), and that stalwart of the community, the YMCA (but also the YWCA, if the flipped ""M"" better suits your gender) all contribute to making Bremerton a solid, family friendly outlet for released energy.

Bremerton is a military town, but also a civilian sector hot spot. Though the city's history is heavily reliant on the Puget Sound Naval Base, where both Truman and Roosevelt visited back in the heady days of the 1940s when west coast naval bases were kind of a big deal, today much has changed. Since then, Bremerton has seen the ups and downs of business development leave its mark, some times resulting in scars. But today, the city's location among the high tech environs of the broader Seattle area has helped condition it to new economic realities - and opportunities.

Bremerton: Gateway To Cool Stuff

Bremerton's lucky location among the watery forests and highly educated milieu of the Pacific Northwest (Seattle is one of the most educated cities in the country) make it an ideal spot to both bury yourself in a book and/or lose yourself among neon green foliage dripping with H2O. Either way it's a refreshing prospect, but then again we're a bunch of nerds. Speaking of nerds, the Seattle Public Library has been deemed one of the best places in the country to engage with other brainiacs in a battle of wits. Well, unless they actually take the solitude such a place affords seriously. In which case: Quiet!

Bremerton is an entry point to the au naturale wonders on hand in the Kitsap Peninsula, which includes camping, hiking, and just generally soaking in everything but the sun. Truly, the best way to indulge this sliver of the Evergreen State. Make sure to investigate for yourself for ideas on making ""the natural side of Puget Sound"" an adventure all your own. Well, you and whoever you bring along.

We're not sure we understand this ""natural side of Puget Sound"" thing. Oh, right, because the other side is Seattle, that most unnatural menagerie of glass and steel. Clever.
