Silverdale, Washington A short ferry ride west of Seattle, Washington brings you to scenic Kitsap County, which includes the towns of Silverdale, Poulsbo, Bremerton and other neighboring communities. Silverdale's rapid growth was spurred in part by the Navy's decision to build a base for Trident nuclear submarines at Bangor, just minutes north of Silverdale. Silverdale's population is currently 10,000 but the number increases monthly as more and more young families move to the area, entranced by the tranquility of the region, and yet realizing they are close enough to urban areas, like Seattle to have the choice to go for a night out! Local attractions include Kitsap Mall and the marina and Waterfront Park, along Dyes Inlet. The local favorite is the scenic Clear Creek Trail, which winds through Silverdale's urban areas. Here residents can choose to go for a quiet stroll, or take the family on a bike ride, or roller-blading. There is no lack of entertainment and activities to do here! With Seattle just across the Sound, and with all the activities offered by Kitsap County, boredom can be staved off.
