Best burger in town?

I don't get out much, but today the carnivorous craving is strong enough that I am debating venturing out to Brickhouse 714 on a Friday night in search of a good cheeseburger.

Good Redditors of Port Orchard, what is everyone's vote for the best burger in town? Bonus points for good fries.

Driving test

I was wondering what people's experience with the 911 driving school here in Port Orchard is like? Like if you have to parallel park etc etc... As an autistic individual the stress of taking a drive test is really eating at me. Thank you

Running Groups

Are there any running meet ups or other types of exercise sports groups set up in the Manchester/Port Orchard area?

If not, I'd love to get something set up for people to link up on Saturday mornings to go on a jog together!

Anyone able to help?- Sun shade canopy height restrictions/code?

My husband and I are wanting to put up one of those sun shade canopies in our yard. We want some extra shade and help cover our poor fried grass. I tried googling it, but haven’t been able to find anything.

Does anyone know if there is a height restriction/code we need to follow when putting it up? We’re not planning on putting it super high, we just don’t want to accidentally get into some trouble. We’re not in city lines if that makes a difference.

Dogs Swimming

Is there any watering holes where a dog can swim off leash anywhere in Kitsap County? Parks don’t work because dogs are supposed to be on leash. Ideally some place away from the road.

It's hot as heck. Where do locals swim?

Moved to Port Orchard recently and not sure what bodies of water are safe to swim in on this side. Where do people go to walk? I'd love to be outside more. Thanks!

Best company for pumping a septic tank.

It’s my first time getting this done. It is a routine pumping an non urgent . Who should I call? Does any company offer neighborhood discount if more than one person gets their tank pumped?

Moving to Port Orchard and am looking for Apt. recommendations

Works taking me to Washington and I'm pretty excited (Navy). I've been doing a ton of online searching but cannot seem to find an apartment complex that is catching my eye. Most places either have 0 reviews or pretty bad ones. Is there any apartments that you guys recommend? I feel like Port Orchard was the better option between Silverdale so now I'm looking for place here lol. Any tips would be awesome!

Job Hunting

Hey everyone! I live in Port Orchard and I’m job hunting to get out of my current job.

My expectations are probably unrealistic but I’m trying here 😂

I’m looking for a job that can do $24+ full time. Office, warehouse, restaurant, any is fine. Nothing with heights though 😅

  1. I can’t drive at the moment
  2. Trying to avoid Seattle/Silverdale, close to Seattle Ferry Terminal is fine.
  3. I don’t have a bachelors but I do have an associates degree in Business Administration
  4. I have several years in customer service, and 3+ years in Payroll, Basic Bookkeeping, Administrative Work and dispatching.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time!
