Came to Silverdale from NOVA. We love the area, and the people couldn't be nicer . Husband works in Seattle and would take the Bainbridge island ferry,but he's still teleworking.

Homes in Silverdale are mostly on hills on either side of the town (which is sea level). So, unless you live near the water It's nothing to worry about. (Flooding)

The Olympic mountains are the background to Silverdale and on clear/mostly clear days, never disappoint.

Good luck with your move. You will love Washington.

Edit added a word.
