The Kitsap Peninsula (/ˈkɪtˌsæp/) lies west of Seattle across Puget Sound, in Washington state in the Pacific Northwest. Hood Canal separates the peninsula from the Olympic Peninsula on its west side. The peninsula, a.k.a. “Kitsap”, encompasses all of Kitsap County except Bainbridge and Blake islands, in addition to the northeastern part of Mason County and the northwestern part of Pierce County. The highest point on the Kitsap Peninsula is Gold Mountain. The U.S. Navy’s Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and Naval Base Kitsap (comprising the former NSB Bangor and NS Bremerton) are on the peninsula. Its main city is Bremerton.

The Kitsap Peninsula is in the Puget Sound of Washington State, between the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. It is almost an island, connected to the mainland by only a 2 mi (3.2 km) wide stretch of land near Belfair. Quaint harbor towns and beaches ring a thickly-forested interior that offers a variety of parks, golf courses and endless rural charm.
