Mountaineers Kitsap Program Center

The facility we share with Olympic Mountain Rescue in Bremerton, Washington.

About the Program Center

The former Westgate Firehall is now the home of Olympic Mountain Rescue and The Mountaineers Kitsap Branch. We are working to develop this facility into a first-rate training venue in support of our members and programs. It is readily accessible from SR-3 or the Bremerton ferry terminal just north of Kitsap Way and the Marine Drive intersection in Bremerton.
