Poulsbo is a small town in northern Kitsap County, which in turn is a peninsula located between Hood Canal and Puget Sound in Washington State. For most purposes, it is functionally an island, with just one lone land highway connecting to the rest of North America. A floating bridge crosses Hood Canal to connect to the Olympic Peninsula, and ferries travel from Kitsap to Edmonds, Tacoma, and Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n

In other words, it is a bit out-of-the-way, but still connected. And this is an afternoon photo of the Poulsbo waterfront in late afternoon.<\/p>\n

Looks like paradise.<\/p>\n
