Building a Community Center in Silverdale - Finally!
For more than ten years, citizens in Central Kitsap have needed a gathering space for club meetings and community events — where free or low-cost courses, information sessions, and recreational classes could be offered. We are making that place a reality!
Programming will be tailored to the needs of all community sectors — preschoolers, teens, adults, families and seniors. Imagine building a sense of belonging and shared experiences with people from many neighborhoods. That’s the vision for the Silverdale Community Center.
