Questions about leasing at 820 Pacific Avenue.

Straight answers on space, cost, commuting, parking, and what it is like to work at this address. If yours is not here, ask us and we will add it.

Working Here

Close enough to walk. Far enough to not get stuck.

A floor plan tells you what you are renting. It does not tell you what the workday feels like, or where the traffic actually goes. Here is the part most listings leave out.

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard employs about 12,000 people, and downtown Bremerton traffic moves in waves around their shift change. An office pressed against the shipyard sits inside that surge twice a day. 820 Pacific Avenue sits at the quieter south end of Pacific Avenue, off the main core, so your cars stay clear of it. The shipyard is still about a nine minute walk. You get the proximity on foot without parking in the congestion.

The shift change

Waves, not a rush hour

Bremerton has no sustained metro-style rush hour. Traffic arrives in waves tied to the shipyard shift change and the ferry offload, with the heaviest flow running toward Gorst.

As Bremerton real estate agent Daphne Gibler told KNKX in 2024, "The biggest rush hour we have here is when PSNS gets let out and when they're coming in in the morning." Between the waves, the streets are quiet.

Parking

Your own lot, not the public fight

820 Pacific Avenue has on-site and adjacent parking across two areas tied to the property. Employees are not hunting for a public space each morning.

That distinction matters here. The public parking nearest the shipyard gates absorbs demand from a workforce of about 12,000. A downtown office without its own lot inherits that problem every single day.

Coffee and lunch

Real coffee within a short walk

Cups Espresso and Cafe is on the same street at 409 Pacific Avenue. Within a few blocks: Cafe Omni on Burwell, The Coffee Oasis, a nonprofit that roasts its own beans, Fraiche Cup and Hemlock Grove near the waterfront, and Bremerton Grounds, the walk-up stand that has served shipyard workers for years.

Enough range for a fast working lunch, a client meal, or a team dinner, all on foot.

The Seattle question

A reverse commute, which is the point

The Kitsap Transit fast ferry crosses to downtown Seattle in about 30 minutes. The Washington State Ferries auto ferry takes about an hour. Both land at Colman Dock.

Someone living in Seattle and working here travels against the heavy direction and boards a boat that is not full. Schedules shift seasonally, so check Kitsap Transit and WSDOT for current sailings.

Versus the alternatives

Bremerton, Silverdale, or Port Orchard

Silverdale is unincorporated, built around driving, and anchored by the Kitsap Mall and regional retail. Port Orchard is the county seat and the commercial center for South Kitsap, across Sinclair Inlet.

Downtown Bremerton is the one with the shipyard, the Seattle ferry terminal and the transit center. Full comparison in the questions below.

After work

The waterfront is the anchor

The boardwalk and the marina are a short walk from 820 Pacific Avenue, and recent waterfront development has added restaurants, hotels and coffee shops.

The ferry terminal also makes an evening in Seattle a 30 minute crossing rather than a long drive around Puget Sound.

Space and leasing

What office space is available for lease at 820 Pacific Avenue?

820 Pacific Avenue, also known as Pacific Plaza, has up to 5,895 square feet of office space available for lease in downtown Bremerton, Washington. The full 4,443 square foot first floor is offered furnished, with 12 private offices, a 317 square foot conference room, a kitchen and a reception area. A separate 1,452 square foot lower level is available with it or on its own.

Is the office space at 820 Pacific Avenue furnished?

Yes, the first floor at 820 Pacific Avenue is furnished and move-in ready. Pacific Plaza provides desks, chairs and built-in casework in the private offices, plus a furnished 317 square foot conference room, a kitchen and a reception area. A tenant occupies the space without buying furniture or building a meeting room. That removes both the capital cost and the lead time from a move.

Can I lease a single private office at 820 Pacific Avenue instead of the whole floor?

A single private office at 820 Pacific Avenue can be leased on its own. The first floor leases either as a whole 4,443 square foot single-tenant floor or as one private office. A single-office tenant shares the 317 square foot conference room, the kitchen and the restrooms. That range makes Pacific Plaza workable for a solo practice and for a company taking an entire floor, at the same downtown Bremerton address.

What is the lower level at 820 Pacific Avenue used for?

The lower level at 820 Pacific Avenue is 1,452 square feet of open, clean, fully lit space with interior access from the first floor. Tenants at Pacific Plaza use space like this for records and file storage, operations, inventory, equipment, or back-office work. The lower level leases on its own or as an addition to the 4,443 square foot first floor.

How much does office space at 820 Pacific Avenue cost?

Pacific Avenue Partners quotes rates on request for 820 Pacific Avenue. One furnished private office and a full 4,443 square foot floor with a conference room price very differently, so the number depends on what you take and for how long. Send your size and term to leasing@820pacific.com and a rate usually comes back the same week.

How much office space does my team actually need?

A common planning figure for private-office layouts is 150 to 250 square feet per employee, counting circulation, meeting space and support areas. On that basis the 4,443 square foot first floor at 820 Pacific Avenue suits roughly 18 to 30 people. The 12 private offices at Pacific Plaza also let a smaller Kitsap County team grow without moving.

What is the difference between a gross lease and a NNN lease?

In a gross lease the tenant pays one rent figure, and the landlord covers operating costs such as property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance. In a triple net, or NNN, lease the tenant pays base rent plus a proportional share of those costs. When you compare two Bremerton offices, compare the all-in annual number rather than the base rate.

How quickly can a tenant move into 820 Pacific Avenue?

Because the first floor at 820 Pacific Avenue is already finished and furnished, a tenant waits on no build-out, no furniture order and no permit for a conference room. The timeline is set by lease negotiation and your own move. If speed drives your decision, say so early and Pacific Avenue Partners will work to it.

Do I need a broker to tour 820 Pacific Avenue?

No broker is required to tour 820 Pacific Avenue. Pacific Avenue Partners owns the building and leases it directly, so you arrange a tour and discuss terms with ownership. Tenants who are represented are welcome to bring their broker. Either way the person showing you Pacific Plaza is the person who can answer questions about it.

What happens if my company outgrows the space?

820 Pacific Avenue is set up for growth in place. A tenant can start in one private office and expand into others as they open. A growing team can also take the full 4,443 square foot first floor, then add the 1,452 square foot lower level for storage and operations. Growing inside Pacific Plaza avoids a second move and a second address change.

Location and getting here

Where exactly is 820 Pacific Avenue?

820 Pacific Avenue is in downtown Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, 98337. It stands on Pacific Avenue at the quieter south end of downtown. The Bremerton ferry terminal, the Bremerton Transportation Center and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard are all within walking distance, while the busiest blocks of the core sit further north.

How close is 820 Pacific Avenue to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard?

820 Pacific Avenue is about a nine minute walk from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. A contractor, engineer or supplier working on the base can attend a meeting there and be back at a desk without moving a car. That also keeps your vehicles out of the congestion around the shipyard gates at shift change.

How far is 820 Pacific Avenue from the Seattle ferry?

The Bremerton ferry terminal is a short walk from 820 Pacific Avenue, in the same downtown core. Both the Washington State Ferries auto ferry and the Kitsap Transit fast ferry to Seattle depart from that terminal. That makes Pacific Plaza practical for a company whose people or clients cross Puget Sound.

How long does the ferry take from Bremerton to Seattle?

The Kitsap Transit fast ferry crosses from Bremerton to downtown Seattle in about 30 minutes, with roughly 13 weekday sailings. The Washington State Ferries auto ferry on the same route takes about 60 minutes. Both dock at Colman Dock on the Seattle waterfront. Schedules change seasonally, so check Kitsap Transit and WSDOT for current sailings.

Can employees commute from Seattle to a Bremerton office?

Yes, and the Seattle to Bremerton trip is a reverse commute, which is the part people miss. Someone living in Seattle and working in Bremerton travels against the heavy direction and boards a fast ferry that is not full. A 30 minute crossing that leaves on schedule compares well with a 30 minute bus ride inside Seattle.

Is there parking for employees and visitors at 820 Pacific Avenue?

820 Pacific Avenue has parking for both employees and visitors, on site and adjacent, across two areas tied to the property. Tenant parking here does not depend on finding a public space downtown, which matters in a city where 12,000 shipyard workers compete for the spots nearest the gates. Tell Pacific Avenue Partners your headcount and you will get the specifics.

Is downtown Bremerton walkable?

Downtown Bremerton is walkable, compact and flat enough that coffee, lunch, the waterfront, the ferry terminal and the Bremerton Transportation Center are all reachable on foot from 820 Pacific Avenue. For a small office that matters more than it sounds. Staff run an errand at lunch without moving a car and losing a parking space.

Can someone reach 820 Pacific Avenue without a car?

820 Pacific Avenue is reachable without a car. The Bremerton Transportation Center is downtown and walkable from the building. It brings together Kitsap Transit bus routes, the Washington State Ferries auto ferry and the Kitsap Transit fast ferry in one place. An employee can arrive from elsewhere in Kitsap County by bus, or from Seattle by boat, and walk the last stretch.

Traffic, the shipyard shift change, and parking

Does shipyard traffic affect getting to an office in downtown Bremerton?

Shipyard traffic is the defining commute pattern in Bremerton. Where your office sits on the map decides whether it affects you. Puget Sound Naval Shipyard employs about 12,000 people, and they arrive and leave at concentrated times. Bremerton real estate agent Daphne Gibler put it this way to KNKX in 2024: "The biggest rush hour we have here is when PSNS gets let out and when they're coming in in the morning." An office pressed against the shipyard sits inside that surge twice a day.

How close is too close to the shipyard for an office?

An office too close to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard gates puts your cars inside the shift-change surge every morning and afternoon. 820 Pacific Avenue sits at the quieter south end of Pacific Avenue, off the main core, so arriving and leaving stays simple. It is still about a nine minute walk to the shipyard. You get the proximity on foot without parking a car in the congestion.

What is traffic like getting in and out of downtown Bremerton?

Downtown Bremerton has no sustained metro-style rush hour. Traffic moves in waves tied to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard shift change and the ferry offload, with the heaviest flow running toward the Gorst inlet. Between those waves the streets are quiet. The practical question for a tenant is not whether Bremerton has traffic. It is whether your address sits inside the wave or beside it. 820 Pacific Avenue sits just outside it, at the quieter south end of Pacific Avenue: close enough to walk to the shipyard, far enough that the surge passes you by.

What does parking cost in downtown Bremerton?

Downtown Bremerton mixes free time-limited street parking, paid street parking and garages. What shapes all of it is the shipyard. Thousands of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard workers park downtown every weekday, and many of them do the street shuffle, moving a car from one time-limited spot to the next through the day to stay free. With that many people arriving for work at once, downtown parking can become a premium. That is why having parking tied to your own building matters more in Bremerton than in most towns.

Do employees at 820 Pacific Avenue have to pay for downtown parking?

Tenants at 820 Pacific Avenue have on-site and adjacent parking across two areas tied to the property, so employees are not competing for public spaces. That distinction matters in Bremerton. Public parking nearest the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard gates absorbs demand from a workforce of about 12,000, and a downtown office without its own lot inherits that problem.

Bremerton compared with Silverdale and Port Orchard

Bremerton or Silverdale: which is better for an office?

Choose downtown Bremerton for a walkable professional address near the shipyard and the Seattle ferries. Choose Silverdale for retail visibility and a central county location. Silverdale is unincorporated and governed by Kitsap County, with about 22,196 residents. Its commercial character is retail and services, anchored by the 300,000 square foot Kitsap Mall, the 212,000 square foot Trails center, and the $500 million St. Michael Medical Center. It is built around driving, with no walkable downtown core. Downtown Bremerton is an incorporated city center with a waterfront, a ferry terminal to Seattle, a transit center, and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard next door. If your clients or your work touch the Navy, federal agencies, maritime engineering or the Seattle crossing, Bremerton puts you inside that ecosystem. If your business depends on retail foot traffic or on being equidistant from Poulsbo and Port Orchard, Silverdale makes more sense.

Bremerton or Port Orchard: which is better for an office?

Choose downtown Bremerton for scale, transit and shipyard proximity. Choose Port Orchard for a smaller waterfront main street and a South Kitsap client base. Port Orchard is the Kitsap County seat and the commercial center for South Kitsap, with about 19,241 residents, 822 businesses and roughly 8,978 workers. It sits across Sinclair Inlet from Bremerton, with one of Puget Sound's largest marinas and a walkable downtown of shops, galleries and dining. The Kitsap Transit foot ferry links the two waterfronts directly. Bremerton has the larger employment base, the Seattle ferry terminal, the transit center and the shipyard. For a firm serving county government or South Kitsap residents, Port Orchard is well placed. For a firm serving the Navy, federal agencies, or clients coming from Seattle, downtown Bremerton is the stronger address.

Why choose downtown Bremerton over a suburban Kitsap office park?

A downtown Bremerton office puts coffee, lunch, banking, the waterfront, the Bremerton Transportation Center and the Seattle ferry terminal within a walk. In a suburban Kitsap office park every one of those is a car trip. Downtown also places you beside Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and the federal, professional and maritime employers around it. 820 Pacific Avenue adds the piece most downtowns cannot: its own parking.

Working in downtown Bremerton

Where do people get coffee near 820 Pacific Avenue?

Several coffee shops sit within a short walk of 820 Pacific Avenue. Cups Espresso and Cafe is on the same street at 409 Pacific Avenue. Cafe Omni is at 206 Burwell and The Coffee Oasis, a nonprofit that roasts its own beans, is at 822 Burwell. Fraiche Cup at 105 Washington and Hemlock Grove Cafe at 80 Washington sit nearer the waterfront. Bremerton Grounds, a walk-up stand serving shipyard workers, is at 655 4th Street.

Where can I take a client to lunch in downtown Bremerton?

Downtown Bremerton offers enough range within a few blocks of 820 Pacific Avenue to cover a fast working lunch, a sit-down client meal or a team dinner. The waterfront and boardwalk are close enough to walk after. Recent development along the Bremerton waterfront has added restaurants, hotels and coffee shops. Ask during a tour and Pacific Avenue Partners will point you at the places worth your time.

Is downtown Bremerton safe?

Downtown Bremerton is a working downtown, and as in any downtown the honest answer depends on the block. 820 Pacific Avenue sits at the quieter south end of Pacific Avenue, where the daytime character is professional, federal and maritime employment rather than nightlife. Pacific Plaza has interior corridors, elevator and stair access, and lit parking. Walk the block yourself at the hour you would actually be here, and Pacific Avenue Partners will meet you for it.

What else is nearby for everyday errands?

Downtown Bremerton covers ordinary weekday needs within a walk of 820 Pacific Avenue, including coffee, food, banking, shipping and the waterfront for getting outside at lunch. The Bremerton Transportation Center is also walkable. That is the practical argument for a downtown office over a suburban Kitsap office park, where every errand costs a car trip and a parking space.

What is downtown Bremerton like after work?

The Bremerton waterfront, the boardwalk and the marina anchor the evening, and all three are a short walk from 820 Pacific Avenue. Recent waterfront development has added restaurants, hotels and coffee shops, plus a planned arts district. The ferry terminal also makes an evening in Seattle a 30 minute fast ferry crossing rather than a long drive around Puget Sound.

Shipyard and federal work

Where do Navy shipyard contractors set up offices in Bremerton?

Contractors supporting Puget Sound Naval Shipyard want to reach the gate for a morning meeting and get back. Downtown Bremerton is the practical location, and 820 Pacific Avenue is about a nine minute walk from the shipyard. Pacific Plaza pairs that walk with its own parking and a furnished floor, so your cars stay clear of the shift-change surge that a workforce of about 12,000 creates.

What does the Navy's dry dock program mean for Bremerton office demand?

The Navy is preparing a multiple award construction contract worth up to $30 billion over as long as ten years, for a new multi-mission dry dock at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Up to five prime contractors are expected. Each will need networks of subcontractors, suppliers and professional services firms. The full request for proposals is anticipated in fall 2026, with awards expected in 2027 and construction possible from 2028. Firms positioning for that work need local presence before the awards, not after.

Is 820 Pacific Avenue near federal offices?

820 Pacific Avenue sits among federal offices. This stretch of Pacific Avenue in downtown Bremerton is surrounded by federal, professional and maritime employers, including engineering and federal facilities on the immediately adjacent block. Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is about a nine minute walk. For a firm whose work depends on that ecosystem, the 820 Pacific Avenue address does real work beyond the four walls.

What should a defense contractor look for in a Bremerton office?

A defense contractor evaluating Bremerton office space should check five things. First, walking proximity to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard gate. Second, dedicated parking that does not depend on street availability. Third, a real conference room for meetings that cannot be held on base. Fourth, private offices rather than open plan. Fifth, a lease term matching the contract period. A furnished floor also lets you open an office on a contract timeline instead of a construction timeline.
