[@westernwashingtonhistory1889]

I am happy you like it. Bremerton is a nice little town, especially if you have lived in a big city.

@@westernwashingtonhistory1889 I lived my first 10 yrs in Gig Harbor (Key Peninsula) my next 10 yrs in Tacoma (University Place) & the last 25 yrs here in Bremerton. I miss & visit often the "big city" of Tacoma & it has grown so much, but I have always described Bremerton as a little "slice" of Tacoma. I also LOVE the geographical location here in Bremerton. What wld Bremerton be without the shipyard?!?

[@TysonKaopuiki]

Nimitz is still active! At psns right now. Plans are to retire it within 2-3 years tho

[@westernwashingtonhistory1889]

They announced it will leave service now in 2026.

Enjoying your Puget sound related videos. Thanks for your hard work on them!

[@westernwashingtonhistory1889]

Thank you, I feel the need to get history out there, I think if people know more about where they are from they can have more respect for the area and themselves. Thank you for being part of the channel, and part of Western Washington History.

[@SYBEX21]

[@westernwashingtonhistory1889]

This is a history channel, I will probably do more history on the yard, but not what the future holds.
