Silverdale, WA Area Guide

A quiet military community just a ferry ride away from Seattle.

Military Navy Schools Commuter Family-Friendly Safe Outdoors Nature

A hefty chunk of the local population in Silverdale serves in the military or otherwise works at the surrounding Navy facilities, all of which can be easily reached within minutes. Ferry service from nearby Bremerton and Bainbridge makes it relatively easy to get to Seattle (much easier than driving around Puget Sound, at least), and Tacoma is just a 45-minute drive to the south. Commercial activity takes up much of the south side of town, while the northern and eastern portions are primarily quiet residential neighborhoods. Schools in the area get high marks and the local crime rate is quite low, making Silverdale rentals very appealing for families.
