Kitsap County, Washington

Kitsap Location Map Washington

Kitsap County juts out into Puget Sound, just a ferry ride away from Seattle. It’s a peninsula with a whole lot of coastline. The Navy has a big presence here. You’ll see submarines in the waters around Bremerton.

But it’s not all military. Bainbridge Island draws day-trippers and wine taste testers. The county has a rural feel in parts, with forests and farms. People here love their outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking.

The county’s named after Chief Kitsap of the Suquamish Tribe. His legacy lives on. You can visit the grave of Chief Seattle (yes, that Seattle) on the Port Madison Indian Reservation. It’s a place where history and modernity mix in interesting ways.

Kitsap County is shaped by water. It’s surrounded on the east side by Puget Sound and on the west by Hood Canal. Elevation stays modest, but it’s hilly, forested, and full of hidden coves and inlets. Bainbridge Island is part of it too, adding more coastline.

It’s mostly green here. As you can see, forests dominate our satellite image. But shipyards and towns show up clearly along the shoreline. Water slices deep into the land, making the county look more like an archipelago than a peninsula.

The shape of Kitsap County is jagged, and looks a little disconnected. Puget Sound wraps around it on the right. The county is split between the mainland and Bainbridge Island. It also consists of Blake Island in the southeast. Water borders nearly every side.
