Poulsbo, Washington, is home to a population of 12,000 residents, and is located in the northern part of Kitsap County. Liberty Bay, along with the majestic, snow-peaked Olympic Mountains to the west, brought the Scandinavians to settle in Poulsbo because the area was so similar to the fjords of Norway from which they came. Poulsbo is a thriving community with many amenities that attract tourists and encourage people to move to the area. With its picturesque downtown core of historic storefronts and shopping areas, Poulsbo offers much to citizens and guests alike.

Separated from the main body of Puget Sound through a narrow passage, it provides a safe harbor for permanent and guest moorage, and is one of the most popular places for boaters to visit in the Sound. Visiting boaters enjoy a clean, well-run marina and a multitude of shops, galleries, and eateries all within a short walk of the marina. The marina includes seven main docks with 253 permanent slips, 170 guest moorage slips and 400 LF of side tie moorage on the breakwater. Marina features include water and power utilities, a seaplane base, kayak and canoe rentals, diesel and gasoline fuel facility, sanitation pump outs, laundry, restroom and shower facilities, launch ramp, and dedicated parking spaces.
