Ooohhhh, tons in that area. Be sure to go to Quilted Straight in Port Gamle and to the Kingston Quilt Shop in Kingston. You could easily make a very nice day trip visiting those two and their surroundings. Also, a day in Poulsbo would be a treat. And it's only about a 45 minute drive from Bremerton to Tacoma where there are 7 or 8 quilt shops.
If you like classes, you might go online and check for some at the nearby shops on the dates you will be here.
And PM me if you want, we could meet up. Lots of others from the Bremerton area on this list, too.

I'm planning to try a shop hop the last of September, South Eastern states. Don't know how far from home I'm going to venture, my 15 year old daughter and I are just going on a road trip and see what happens.

Oh my those are some stunning fabrics, I love em!
There must be some serious quilters in your area to support 19 quilt shops.
I was going to say that I am green with envy (I am over your orange fabrics tho) but decided it is best that I have no LQS near me, it saves me lots of money. OK there is a Joanns but that isn't the same as a 'quilt shop', the choices are too limited.
