Bremerton feels like a small city with big-city perks — a walkable harborside with naval and maritime museums, lively breweries and farmers markets, parks, kayaking and easy island access, so a multi-week contract can be social, scenic and plenty to explore.
Downtown Seattle is an easy commute on the Kitsap Fast Ferry (about 30 minutes) and Tacoma — with more dining, shopping and regional amenities — is roughly 30–35 miles by car, giving you solid weekend and evening options.
