Kitsap Peninsula Water TrailsKitsap has developed the first online guidebook and interactive map for use by our citizens and visitors to our community. This website highlights the Peninsula's (Mason, Pierce and Kitsap counties) most full-featured water trail sites with many more to come in 2018.

Long Lake Management DistrictWith approval of the Long Lake community, Kitsap has formed its first lake management district in nearly two decades to combat aquatic weeds and toxic algae blooms affecting Long Lake.

On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, Commissioner Garrido has convened several stakeholder groups to combat homelessness in our community. Through these efforts, the community has constructed several tiny cottages for use in future communities to serve our citizens without homes.

Kitsap County will complete the last phase of the Kitsap Forest and Bay Project by acquiring up to 1,500 additional acres of land and development rights, expanding the Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park to over 3,500 acres of public trails and open space.
