Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Keyport, WA

Keyport is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Kitsap County, situated at the eastern terminus of State Route 308 on a small peninsula jutting into Liberty Bay, a few miles southeast of Poulsbo.

The community was named in 1896 after Keyport, New Jersey, according to Edmond S. Meany's history of Washington place names.

Keyport's nickname is "Torpedo Town USA," earned from the U.S. Navy torpedo station that has defined the community for more than a century.

The naval station began before World War I as the Pacific Torpedo Station, later became the Naval Torpedo Station and then the Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering Station, and today operates as Naval Base Kitsap – Keyport, home to the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport, which ranges and repairs torpedoes and other undersea weapons for the Navy and its allies.

After the Cold War, budget cuts and base realignment rounds shrank the station's civilian workforce from about 3,500 personnel in 1990 to about 1,348 in 2005, though the base survived every closure threat.

Keyport's major visitor attraction is the Naval Undersea Museum, whose exhibits on undersea technology include the bathyscaphe Trieste II, which descended to 20,000 feet, along with torpedoes and deep submersibles such as Mystic.

Keyport first appeared as a census-designated place in the 2010 census, when it had 554 residents; the population rose to 576 at the 2020 census.

The CDP covers 0.70 square miles — about 0.49 square miles of land and 0.21 square miles of water — at an elevation of roughly 39 feet.

Keyport Bible Church, established in the early 1900s and incorporated in 1926, is the community's sole church; its building was dedicated on May 2, 1937.

The Navy base at Keyport is a designated Superfund site, with cleanup of chlorinated solvents and PCBs that includes growing poplar trees to treat contamination at the former landfill, and the community has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate.
