I am from Port Orchard, I am now 30 and live in Tacoma. Pros of Port Orchard are it’s a bit more affordable compared to the Seattle metro, but that is quickly changing with the fast ferry access to Seattle and more people leaving the Seattle area for surrounding towns and cities. I think the vibe of the area is somewhat rural, and it is more conservative than many parts of Western Washington. Not very culturally diverse imo. But if you have kids I don’t think there’s much for them to do there and that’s my biggest issue with it. The one movie theatre closed recently, most things to do are either in gig harbor or Bremerton/Silverdale.
