Yeah, much of the area is benefiting because of the growth in Seattle, Ferry Port towns specifically benefit, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Bainbridge, and Kingston all seem to be doing rather well in growth. I know on Port Orchard's Facebook there's a lot of concern and anger about the "big city folk" coming over and ruining their small town feel. I hate to be contributing to that, but it's where my wife's new job is and I can telework a few days a week so the extended drive doesn't bother me.
