Why Bremerton is Beautiful.

It is 9:00 at night and the heat in my attic apartment is shrink wrapping my clothes to my skin. I spent the hottest part of the day with hundreds of other people at Matthew's Beach on Lake Washington, lamenting the heat in bits of shade and cooling off in fece infested waters. Although I hear many condescending Seattlite comments regarding the backwoods nature of Bremerton, I can't help but think of the things that make Bremerton beautiful: endless stretches of available waterfront, floating in the cool salt water of Oyster Bay with my childhood friend on an inflatable kiddy pool, sherbet colored sunsets over the Olympics outside the Global Bean, miles of trees and farmland instead of pavement and people, graffiti reminding us to enjoy nature (to name only a few).

In pictures, this is why I find Bremerton beautiful:



I will eventually find the same beauty in the city that I have in the rural suburb, but that will have to wait until it is not 100 degrees outside.
