October on the Kitsap Peninsula - the days grow shorter, darker, and as we approach Halloween, the family festivities and fun go into full swing. Kingston,Bremerton, Poulsbo, and beyond host a variety of pumpkin patches and Halloween events for families.

Sometimes it seems like Kitsap experiences all 4 seasons on the same day. Especially in Spring, the Kitsap Peninsula can go from sunshine to drizzle to a double rainbow and back to blue skies all in the same day.

Explore 8 miles of trails winding through Central Kitsap’s retail area of Silverdale. The Clear Creek Trail is a local favorite for a good reason!

This historic state park sits on the eastern shores of Port Orchard and offers camping, beach exploration, event facilities, and hours of fun. Watch Seattle/Bremerton ferries chug past as juvenile bald eagles roost overhead among the thick pine boughs.
