Keyport, Washington
Spend a half‑day in Keyport for the Naval Undersea Museum and marina walk; add a night only if you need a base on the Kitsap Peninsula.
Keyport is a tiny port town (pop. ~550) centered on the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. Its main attractions are the free United States Naval Undersea Museum and a small marina with bird‑watching spots. It is reachable by car via SR‑308 or by Kitsap Transit bus (ORCA fare $2). One half‑day covers the museum and waterfront; a night is optional for a quiet base on the peninsula.
