Olympic College--1600 Chester Ave, Bremerton WA 98337; off Warren Ave, aka Hwy 303  Although in the photo it looks diminutive and distant, I caught a glimpse of the amazing view of Mt Rainier from the Warren Ave bridge which spans the Port Washington Narrows, Dyes Inlet of the Puget Sound, Bremerton WA Sheridan Rd is north of the Warren Ave Bridge, in East Bremerton. The Sheridan neighborhood of Bremerton was an historic small town in the 1890s.

U.S. Naval Undersea Museum--1 Garnett Way, Keyport WA 98345 I was traveling north toward Port Angeles (on my way to Victoria BC), so though I found this as part of Bremerton sights to see, it's actually north of Bremerton (at the south end of Liberty Bay off Port Orchard waterway--all part of the Kitsap Peninsula and the complex arm, elbow, and fingers of the Puget Sound). This museum seemed so apropos of the area, I just had to include it.
Poulsbo WA I saw something about the SEA Discovery Center aquarium in Poulsbo, so close to Bremerton, and thought it a good way to round out all the waterside explorations of my trip, so went to check it out. Wow! Although I didn't get to explore inside the center, I was so enamored with historic downtown Poulsbo, and it so befit my "Skoal Scandinavia!" post (see link below), that I was pretty ecstatic to have happened upon it (not quite by accident). Poulsbo is at the other end of Liberty Bay from Keyport.
