The Bremerton Harborside Fountain Park is open and a wonderful place to take a walk, enjoy a lunch, stick your feet in one of the fountains or just sit and watch the marine traffic.
The fountains are beautiful and fun with a sequence of eruptions that become predictable and mesmerizing. A very fun place to photograph as you try and catch the water in mid air. I was there mid day but earlier or later would offer better photo opportunities and in the evening the fountains are highlighted by lights.
The stone sculptures by Will Robinson are both beautiful and functional with some serving as tables, seats and one, by children, as a slide. Again, more dramatic shadows, earlier or later in the day, would enhance the sculptures in photos.
The park alone is worth a trip to Bremerton's rapidly changing waterfront. Other draws include Anthony's Restaurant, the other fountains near the conference center, the USS Turner Joy and the wonderful views.
Make your trip a two-for-one and take the foot ferry to Port Orchard to continue your exploration.
Coming from Seattle? The one hour Washington State ferry ride is a bargain cruise with views the Cascade and Olympic Mountains including Mount Rainier. Wind your way through Rich Passage, watch marine traffic and animals. You can bring your car or walk on the ferry and easily explore both Bremerton and Port Orchard without the need for a car. If you decide to stay overnight there is a hotel directly on the waterfront within easy walking distance of the ferry and other attractions.
A ferry ride from Seattle and walking tour of the Bremerton waterfront makes an excellent photo outing with a wide range of subject matter all in one day.
