Our hats are off to the hardworking in .. dividuals that have made the shipyard what it is today in Kitsap County. The Bon Marche has been serving customers in the North· west for 100 years and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has been serving the Pacific Fleet of our prestigious Navy for 100 years. We both look forward to serving Northwest for the next 100 years.
