Harbormaster Port of Poulsbo Poulsbo, Washington Salary :  $75,000 - $90,000   Poulsbo, Washington, is home to a population of 12,000 residents, and is located in the northern part of Kitsap County. Liberty Bay, along with the majestic, snow-peaked Olympic Mountains to the west, brought the Scandinavians to settle in Poulsbo because the area was so similar to the fjords of Norway from which they came. Poulsbo is a thriving community with many amenities that attract tourists and encourage people to move to the area. With its picturesque downtown core of historic storefronts and shopping areas, Poulsbo offers much to citizens and guests alike.   Governed by a three-member Board of Commissioners, the Port of Poulsbo operates a first-class destination marina, the Poulsbo Marina, for both recreational and commercial vessels.
