Poulsbo Washington is a small city on Liberty Bay in Kitsap County — within range of Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, the largest nuclear weapons storage facility in the western hemisphere. The community is a residential hub for Navy personnel stationed at Bangor and Bremerton. Kitsap County earthquake risk from the Cascadia Subduction Zone and Seattle Fault is significant, and the dense nuclear infrastructure nearby creates specific emergency planning requirements.
