We love Port Orchard—little town that feels much more authentic than (for example) Gig Harbor, Silverdale, or Poulsbo. Feels safe here, schools are supposed to be really good. Foot ferry to Bremerton (which does NOT feel very safe to me!), which has better restaurants and maybe more to do, depending on what you like. I’d raise a family here!

My friend is in south Kitsap sd (port orchard) schools and says they haven’t passed a bond in years the schools are overcrowded, the teachers are overwhelmed and there is a major lack of resources/opportunities. She is often frustrated with the ‘trumpism’ among her children’s peers so if you are looking through the lens of lgbtq+biracial, you may be frustrated as well or often put in a position to advocate for yourself.

This is exactly the kind of first hand experience I want to hear! Folks that aren’t bipoc or lgbt they may have totally different experiences!
