 You’ve heard that phrase ‘Live Your Best Life’ - well, we believe that living in KITSAP is our best life! The Kitsap Lifestyle - where we play, shop, gather, learn, work, eat and relax - is a unique mix of rural sensibilities with modern vision backdropped by iconic PNW landscapes.

The Kitsap Peninsula is home to a handful of individual cities, several distinct regions and dozens of unique neighborhoods. What area will best suit your individual needs? What will your new lifestyle look like? Where will you eat? What will you do? What wonderfully unique people will you befriend? More importantly, who will we BECOME? Who will our children BECOME? Love Kitsap exists to explore these wonderments and give life to these ideas in a helpful, meaningful way.

If you choose to live on the Kitsap Peninsula, here’s how you will LIVE.

Walk Manette to Port Orchard

Manette is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Kitsap County. Easy pedestrian access to many area shops, restaurants, parks are great - but we especially appreciate the ease in which one can walk from Manette to Downtown Port Orchard.

A Short History of the Kitsap Peninsula

The Kitsap Peninsula would be an island were it not for a mile or two of forest that separates North Bay from Lynch Cove - a relative ribbon of land that tethers the massive Peninsula to the rest of Western Washington.
