Best place to sit near the water?
New to town from seattle… what’s the best place in Bremerton (a park maybe?) To sit quietly and listen to lapping water? Your tips would be so appreciated!

Good place to see harbor seals?
A while back I realized I love harbor seals, and I know it's the beginning of pupping season where the mothers will be on the beaches. Anyone know any areas in Kitsap where I can potentially see them (from a far distance, of course) ? I live in Silverdale so ideally somewhere…

"This is a neat tiny little park, 8 parking spots. Nice little viewing place out over the water and the water was amazingly clear. Nice view of the area and bridge."

"This is small public park-let in East Bremerton. It is very quiet and a beautiful place to relax, unwind. You can hear the waves, watch birds or boats going and passing by. If you're lucky you can also see seals playing and passing by or see Naval ships coming and going. Rotary Club is doing excellent job in keeping it clean, tidy and beautiful. Thank you for picking up after your trash if you check this place!"

"It was a great stop to take pictures. And watch ships passing by."
