Living in Port Orchard

Facing Bremerton across an inlet of the Puget Sound, Port Orchard is just a 15-minute commute from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, making it a great homebase for military and DOD families. Port Orchard is served by the South Kitsap School District and is home to South Kitsap High School.

With a population of about 14,000 and a thriving local economy, Port Orchard has all the benefits of a larger city, but with the community feel found in a small town. The Downtown district is home to a variety of shops and restaurants, including antique stores and modern boutiques. There are places to eat to satisfy any appetite, whether you want seafood, a burger, a beer, or a cup of coffee.

There are also several museums to be found in town, including the Log Cabin Museum, the Sidney Art Gallery, and the Veterans Living History Museum. There is a Saturday Farmer’s Market running April through October down on the waterfront, boasting seasonal produce and flowers, hot and cold food, baked goods, and wine, plus lots of products and services from local businesses and artists.

Port Orchard also offers access to nature and the outdoors for brave adventurers of all ages, with lots of parks in town and hiking trails just a short drive away. Olympic National Forest is also about an hour away via car–just jump on Highway 3!

Vashon Island and Seattle are both accessible via the Southworth Ferry, making Port Orchard an ideal place for local day trip opportunities. Under an hour from Tacoma via car, and under 30 minutes from Gig Harbor, Bremerton, Silverdale, and Poulsbo, Port Orchard is the gateway to the Kitsap Peninsula!

A Little Local History

Did you know that Port Orchard was originally named Sidney?

In 1886 Frederick Stevens, who founded the town, named it after his father, Sidney Merrill Stevens. From its founding to the early 20th century, Sidney was known for its lumber, pottery, and agriculture. It was the first incorporated town in Kitsap County, becoming official in 1890.

Residents of the town of Sidney were instrumental in bringing the Puget Sound Naval Station (later Puget Sound Naval Shipyard) to Kitsap County in the 1890s, advocating for its ideal location in a secluded inlet of the Puget Sound.

In 1903, Sidney was renamed Port Orchard, after Port Orchard Bay and H. M. Orchard, the clerk of early Pacific Northwest explorer Captain George Vancouver. Though the town moniker was changed over 100 years ago, the name Sidney can still be found around town in Port Orchard, from street names, to businesses, to Sidney Glen Elementary School, to the Sidney Art Gallery.

With a strong sense of history and pride, Port Orchard has a rich local culture and is an ideal city to make your home.

Testimonials

"I have great appreciation for Lindsay. She was a great fit for me because I am pretty straightforward and I felt that she was also the same way. Her ability to negotiate was incredible, and I think if I would be working with someone else, it wouldn’t have worked out the same way. She was my advocate!"

"Lindsay is literally amazing! We had made a rather spur of the moment decision to move and she was so on top of everything. Within a week we had found our dream home. Within 2 days sold our house. And in a matter of about a month the whole process was done. She was so invested in us and the process. Communicating with us all the way. And completely made our dreams come true!!"

"Lindsay Jackman is absolutely amazing! She was very patient with us and helped us find the right home. She made the whole process very smooth. Thank you so very much for all that you did for us and making our first time buying a home memorable!"

"You will be impressed with Lindsay's personal level of professionalism, her keen sense of the market place and her diligent approach to everything she does. If you are buying or selling a home, you want her on your team! Her lighthearted, approachable personality makes Lindsay a pleasure to work with."
