Port Orchard
Port Orchard is located on the Kitsap Peninsula in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.
Understand
Port Orchard's identity is anchored in its connections to the past. Originally a booming lumber town called Sidney, Port Orchard became Kitsap County’s first incorporated city in 1890. It wooed the county seat away from Port Madison on Bainbridge Island in 1893 and remains the center of county government.
The city is located just south of Bremerton across the Sinclair Inlet. The passenger-only ferry, known as the "foot ferry", links the two cities.
Downtown Port Orchard offers a variety of shopping including antiques, gifts and crafts, and a variety of dining options.
Arriving by water, you'll find a large public marina making Port Orchard a favored boating destination. Marina Park, with its boardwalk and covered gazebo, offers beach access and is the site of the summer outdoor Farmer's Market.
