After being named as the best place to live in the nation by Money magazine over decade ago, Bremerton is once again on the influential publication’s radar screen.

The December issue lists Seattle as one of the 10 best cities to live and Bremerton as one of the four “Great places to live around Seattle.” The other three are Fremont, Ballard, and the Snoqualmie Valley.

“Until a few years ago, Bremerton, a Navy town, was perhaps better known as a good place for a sailor to get a tattoo than as a place to raise children,” said the magazine. “But the school system is rapidly improving, and homes — ranging from ranches to view-stealing mansions — average about a third less than similar spreads in Seattle itself.”
