Transportation

Because of Silverdale's location on the Kitsap Peninsula transportation takes on several possible forms. Automobiles cross several bridges to access the county and service is also available cross-sound via the Washington State Ferry system. Kitsap County is anchored by a small land bridge in Mason County to the southwest. The Hood Canal Floating bridge in the northwest corner of the county is the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula, Port Townsend and Port Angeles. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge spans a lower portion of Puget Sound is the connecting link to Tacoma with easy access to Interstate 5. Heading east to Seattle means a trip across the Sound on a ferry boat. Silverdale is situated directly on Hwy 3, the largest freeway in the county. It is approximately 30 miles to Tacoma and 60 miles (by car) to Seattle.

AIRPORT
The Bremerton National Airport is a full-service facility which can accommodate 727, 737 and 757 and DC 9 jets and also provides a base of operations to many of the personal and business aircraft in the county.
