Best budget-friendly soccer vacation

Highlights

Planning your soccer-filled getaway to the Seattle matches but trying to keep your spending in check? Kitsap County offers a chill, scenic and affordable options just a ferry ride away from all the action. Whether you're bringing the family, traveling with your soccer crew, or just soaking up the experience solo—this is the smart way to stay.

Kitsap County makes it easy to catch the soccer excitement in Seattle without emptying your wallet.

Bremerton and Bainbridge Island both offer fast, scenic ferry service to downtown. That means no downtown parking fees, no crazy traffic, and no overpriced city hotels. 

Each community offers its own local flavor. Whether you're chasing outdoor adventure or low-key rest between matches, Kitsap delivers value and comfort without the crowds.

On non-match days, trade big-city chaos for fresh air and friendly vibes. Take a walk along the boardwalk in Silverdale, paddle in the bay in Port Orchard, or spend a lazy afternoon brewery-hopping in Poulsbo. Bainbridge Island is perfect for a scenic hike and a sunset dinner. 

Bremerton & Sliverdale

Kick off your trip in Bremerton with a stroll along the scenic waterfront and a visit to the free Puget Sound Navy Museum. Stay for live music in Quincy Square before heading back to your cozy lodging.

Spend the next day in Silverdale, enjoying a picnic at Silverdale Waterfront Park and exploring the local shops and art galleries along the Clear Creek Trail.
