“Safe in the Sound” – Bites of Kitsap County WA
December 20th, 2007 by Rich JacobsonOkay, so what if we just had over 12″ of torrential rain swamp us in a 24 hour period, causing sinkholes and washed-out roadways. And forget that we have a huge stockpile of nuclear warheads just down the street at Bangor Subase (at least once a year the tree-hugging Al Gore global warmers protest at the front gate). 
Regardless, the Silverdale WA and Bremerton WA area just recently made the No. 10 spot on a list of the Safest Mid-Sized Cities across the US with populations of 150,000 to 500,000.
The list is from a report compiled by Farmer’s Insurance. The rankings take into account variables such as crime statistics, weather, life expectancy, and terrorist threat levels.
Two other Washington State cities were ranked – Olympia (the State Capitol) came in at 1st place, and Bellingham was 5th.

Those sink holes may not make you feel very safe, but it sounds like you are in a good spot. I know it is pretty! I think it is interesting that SF and San Jose are so high on the big city list. I guess our low crime rate makes up for the earthquake hazard!
