WET worked closely with the City of Bremerton to bring the elements of Puget Sound inland, blurring the boundary between land and sea. PSNS Memorial Plaza is the fourth feature of the Waters of Bremerton Harborside—focal points designed to resonate with the regions natural features, reflect local history, and guide ferry passengers from the harbor to historic downtown Bremerton.
At the south end of PSNS Memorial Plaza, in honor of the U.S. Navy, monumental rock sculptures created by local artist Will Robinson are paired with dynamic water expressions. At the north end, a configuration of water jets echoes this tribute with a silhouette that recalls a sailing ship. As visitors negotiate the park’s irresistible contrasts, they step away from their everyday world to become part of the ever-changing boundary between man and the elements.
