Bremerton, WA - History


We would like to provide the residents of  Bremerton  a basic history overview.


Welcome to the Bremerton Home page. The Bremerton Home page provides as much information as possible on Bremerton. Knowing Bremerton’s history is essential to guiding its future. Within Bremerton’s Home page, you will also find Bremerton’s Founders, Holiday, and Birthday sections.

Bremerton has a population of 219538. 52.5% of Bremerton’s inhabitants are Male, and 47.5 are female. 38.3% of Bremerton is married and 45.9% own their own home. The Average Home price is $270,145, and the average rent is $1,135. Household median income in Bremerton is $57,963, and the individual median income is $28,672. Bremerton’s Ethnic is the following: White(71.2%), Hispanic(12.2%), Multiple(11%), Black(5.7%), Asian(5.3%), Other(5.3%), Native(0.7%), Pacific(0.7%).


Bremerton is divided among three state legislative districts in Kitsap County, the 23rd legislative district to the north, 35th legislative district in the center and 26th legislative district to the south. Before redistricting in 2012, the line separating the first and sixth Congressional districts ran through East Bremerton.


As a result of the 2012 redistricting, all of Bremerton now lies within the sixth Congressional district. The district is represented by Derek Kilmer, who was first elected to that position in 2012. Prior to Kilmer, Norm Dicks served as sixth district Representative from 1977 to 2013. The current mayor is Greg Wheeler.


Incorporated as a first-class city, Bremerton has been governed by a nonpartisan strong mayor and seven-member city council since 1985. Each member is elected from one of seven districts who in turn elect one member as President. The current form of government was established by a 1983 charter that eliminated a decades-old city commission composed of a mayor, public works commissioner and finance commissioner. Each member of the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners represents a portion of the city of Bremerton.


This arrangement was an attempt to balance Bremerton's commercial influence with the remainder of the county, though most of its sales tax base has since relocated to unincorporated areas.Bremerton politics can vary in intensity, with some city council positions regularly unopposed and others having as many as four candidates in the 2005 primary election, and seven candidates in the 2021 election.


Redevelopment projects have been a major source of debate, including the 2007 construction of a federally funded tunnel that would route ferry traffic under the downtown core as well as a planned waterfront boardwalk extension. As with most cities in the region, Bremerton precincts have historically been more favorable for Democratic candidates in state and federal elections, contrasting with more conservative-leaning voters in rural areas of the county.
