Today was gorgeous so I decided to update all of the Bremerton Out & About series with video. This is the first of several showing all of the area attractions I have blogged about in the past with video. I was amazed at how much fun the Bremerton Marina was. No, I don’t have a boat and yet I had a blast walking out and looking back at the Bremerton Boardwalk. This will be a great spot to have a picnic or just sit in the sun and read a book. I never thought I would enjoy the new Marina but you can bet I will enjoy this new attraction immensely. I am new to video so a little shaky….Enjoy! [video 9:26 in length]

Back in October I was walking down on the Boardwalk checking out all of the completed revitalization projects the City of Bremerton had completed over 2007 and was mesmerized by the construction of the new Port of Bremerton Marina. I had the opportunity to talk to a couple of workers who informed me that the project should be complete by April 2008. Well looks like that date has really been moved up. The major part of construction will now be completed by February 2008! This is so much earlier than the Port of Bremerton expected that they have started to take reservations for slips at the end of November.
This 22.9 million dollar project has been controversial for the residence of Bremerton. There will now be 45 visitor slips and 229 permanent slips. There will no covered moorage at the Bremerton Marina. It will be interesting to see how fast these are all occupied. I agree with not having covered slips to protect the visual effect of the Bremerton Boardwalk however, this isn’t San Diego.
The city speculates that if the Bremerton Marina does fill and becomes a popular boating destination, it has the potential of adding approximately 2oo jobs and $2 million a year in revenues to the nearby restaurants and shops.
