Depending on the season you visit you could enjoy fresh fish, crab, shrimp, vegetables, apples or a nice bottle of locally grown and bottled wine. The abundance of wildlife and seafood has long been a know treasure, being utilized by the Indians for centuries prior to our settlement. Fishing, hunting and farming go hand in hand and the people of Kitsap have long embraced nature. Originally discovered and utilized for its lumber resources, logging has diminished considerably over the last 100 yrs.

Culture

Our diverse culture starts with the first real settlers to the area "The Indians". They have long kept their culture alive through many struggles. The area has two native Indian tribes "The Suquamish" and "The S'Klallam" tribes. You can find a variety of ethnic food, arts and crafts through out the Kitsap area ranging from decorative and lively Hawaiian dances to tasty Asian and Hispanic dishes.
