Poulsbo is a charming, walkable waterfront town on the Kitsap Peninsula with a Scandinavian-flavored downtown of cafes, breweries, boutiques and a farmers market, plus easy kayaking, nearby trails and a friendly community that makes multi-week stays feel comfortable and interesting.
Within about an hour you can reach Seattle for big-city museums, dining and major medical centers, and Tacoma for extra shopping, nightlife and services, so you won’t feel isolated during an extended assignment.
