Kitsap County Advisory Groups

Kitsap County advisory groups, including boards, councils, commissions and committees, play an essential role in Kitsap County government. Whether created by the Board of County Commissioners or Washington statutes, each group was established to provide opportunities for the public to participate in and promote local government and the effective and efficient delivery of services. Kitsap County seeks advisory group members who represent the diversity of our neighborhoods that want to bring their passion and knowledge to help develop and review plans, policies and funding recommendations, ensuring resources are equitably distributed in our communities.
