Reinventing A Neighborhood in Bremerton

The Bremerton Housing Authority’s vision for redeveloping the aging Westpark neighborhood has moved into high gear with the selection of Marathon Development to head up the project.

“This is the largest redevelopment in Bremerton’s recent history, probably 40 years, if not longer,” said Ted Johnson, Marathon president and owner. “It will be the western gateway into the city of Bremerton.”

Plans include over 800 housing units and 250,000 square feet of retail.

Johnson said his firm is not investing in the $300 million project, but will act as quarterback for the team. He said a Feb. 16 consultants meeting will mark the start of master planning for the 82-acre site, which was built during World War II to provide housing.
