Any specific area you would recommend in Kitsnap? I'm mainly focused on Port Orchard and Silverdale atm

Surprising to hear about seafood. Would think crab and salmon season would be good there considering proximity. We're also looking at Silverdale fwiw, that's N of Bremerton I believe.

Yea, I figured as much, but it seems a little more insulated from traffic and crime than Tacoma but still good schools. It also seems more green, but I don't know. Will check them out before we buy something, mainly want to find a good place for the kids to play without people zooming by side streets going 40mph like here in FL.

Haha, guilty pleasure eating. Yea, I'll miss that. Was looking for an Italian Market anywhere in the area and couldn't find anything. Seems like a great place to open a deli or market..hell, I would be happy with a WaWa!

I'm ok with making my own, decent bread and supermarkets there? Publix here has good bread and lunch meat but not sure the equivalent in Washington. Maybe Krogers?

Thanks! Yea, I'm looking forward to summer but don't know how I'm gonna deal with no sun all winter. Maybe take a trip to the East to find some sunlight so I don't go crazy lol

Yea, thanks. I've pivoted again to maybe Port Orchard. Wary of traffic along the coast, and the houses are a little.more.affordablenat PO. Crime is actually a little lower than most nearby areas, about the same as Gig and University Place, and they also have good schools. What ainreally like is the elevation and trees in that area. I'm work from home so I can kind of pick the best place, and based on what I see available, prices, crime and schools I think that's our new focal point. Also read it stays cooler in the summer during hot spells because of the surrounding water, another plus. Not too sure about shopping and food, but seems big enough. Thoughts on that area?

Awesome, thanks! That's really.helpful to know.

That was our first choice before we started doing research. Now we are more or less focused anywhere from Oly to Ruston along the water, or maybe in the isles towards Gig or Bremerton/Port Orchard. But heard those weren't as nice, and schools not as good. But the houses in Bremerton were definitely the most affordable and nicest in terms of greenery and views.

Not familiar with DuPont, will need to check that out. Thanks for the info!

What about further away toward Bremerton or Port Orchard?

Really? I visited there and thought it was nice, is there a lot of crime there?

Interesting. What's your take on Edgewood?

To be fair I'm from Florida, the number one state ppl are moving to and we are priced out of our own neighborhood. I get it, home prices are crazy. But it's like this is most places,.even rural areas have gotten way more expensive because work from home. But don't be mad at the people, it's really more about wages not keeping up with inflation, but I digress, that's a whole different topic.

Thats one of the new entries for us, is there a lot of traffic between there and say University Place area?

Haven't heard about UP being grimy, will need to do some exploration when we move. I have heard good things about Olympia, homeless.doesnt bother me I'm from Philly originally lol

Thanks, that's high on our list at the moment because we have family there. Seems like it is centrally located.

Yea and half are bots
