Opportunity for an Optical Lab Finishing Supervisor in Bremerton, WA

Come to Bremerton, WA! Walk along the shore where eagles dive for fish. Watch whales play in the nearby inlet. Cross a bridge and gaze in awe at a postcard vista of the Olympic Mountains or Mount Rainier. Gallery hop, fine dine, or enjoy an evening of top entertainment at the Admiral Theatre. Listen to music at a cozy nightspot. Head for the city, the mountains, the water, or stay right here in quaint Bremerton - the center of it all.

With national renown as one of America's most livable cities and one of the top five places to raise a family, Bremerton offers affordable, quality living in a spectacular water and mountain setting. Located in Kitsap County in Washington State, the City of Bremerton lies directly across Puget Sound from Seattle.

Nearly unrivaled in the Puget Sound, Bremerton homes carry a median price half that of homes on the Seattle side of the water. Add to that properties that abound with breathtaking water and mountain views, and it's no wonder that Bremerton attracts residents who work in Seattle and take their money further by living well in the West Sound.

Why Bremerton? Quality schools, vast recreation, clean environment, beautiful parks, convenient shopping, low crime, excellent medical facilities, growing arts community of galleries, museums, cultural programs, theaters, restaurants and cafes all contribute to the eclectic ambiance.
