It is located in close proximity to major urban and employment centers and enjoys an outstanding natural setting. Port Orchard’s residents have a strong community spirit and value the area’s important maritime history. These aspects contribute to a high quality of life that influences people’s choice to live and work in Port Orchard. Port Orchard faces many challenges. Recent annexations and rapid population growth have contributed to increasing demands for services and infrastructure. These challenges are likely to be present for the foreseeable future as Port Orchard transitions away from the small town that it was for the first 125 years of its existence. Downtown
