    Why I love the Port Orchard Community..

    po_chamber_photos-larose-1a.jpgCarolyn Powers and granddaughter Lisa Haner--
     "…because as this community continues to grow it still maintains its small town feel. As a fourth generation resident I recognize the value of a small town atmosphere and close knit community. This is why I choose to raise my family here."  Lisa Haner
    “…because it is a jewel constantly polished by its natural beauty, caring people, excellent schools, friendly businesses, easy shopping/dining, farmers market, recreational opportunities and festivals! What a quality of life! WOW”  Carolyn Powers

    po_chamber_photos-larose-3.jpgTeri Goodwin and Cathy Hall--
    “I love how the people of Port Orchard come together to help one another in times of need.  The most recent example of this is Buck's A&W.  In the face of adversity the people of Port Orchard banded together and came out winners.  I love the way we help and support our local people and programs.  We still have that small town charm I remember as a child growing up here”  Teri Goodwin “.....because there is a compelling history here and folks who've lived their entire lives in South Kitsap, are anxious to share it with newcomers.  AND.  The water activity is enthralling, from fog to aircraft carriers. Cathy Hall

     Matthew Hartwig and Dick Davis--
    “….because it is in the center of all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. From the ocean to fresh water lakes, Seattle to Mt Rainer, Port Orchard is only a couple hours away from endless possibilities.” 
    Matthew Hartwig 

    "What a wonderful time to become a new resident in the City of Port Orchard. There is a new "can do" attitude surfacing and there is a true, exciting vision of the future of our City."  Dick Davis

    Coreen Haydock Johnson and Diana Watson--
    “I have been doing business in the community for 30 years and what has impressed me most is the wonderful support parents give their children in their academic achievements.  It warms my heart to see the progress children are making in whatever they choose to do to enrich their lives, and to hear parents talk with pride about their children.  We have a very talented group of future musicians in our community.”  Diana Watson “…because of the connections and history we have with each other, especially through our families and our schools.   But I also like it here because in one to two hours I can be in Seattle or where each of my kids live and enjoy a whole other world.”  Coreen Haydock Johnson
