The plaza at Marina Square, a new 344,400-square-foot mixed-use project at 280 Washington Ave. on the Bremerton waterfront, has been officially named and dedicated in honor of Bremerton’s former mayor Cary Bozeman

The plaza, which bifurcates the project’s two mid-rise residential towers, is now called Cary Bozeman Place.

Bozeman was the mayor of Bellevue for three terms and mayor of Bremerton for two terms. He has also served as a Bellevue city council member for four terms, president/CEO of King County Boys and Girls Clubs, CEO of the Port of Bremerton, executive director of Olympic College Foundation and is the founder of The Bozeman Group, a consulting firm that works with cities to create economically viable downtown urban neighborhoods.

A dedication plaque was unveiled last week.

Marina Square was developed by Sound West Group in partnership with the city of Bremerton. Encore Architects designed the project which was built by Compass Construction. The first residents moved in November 2022.

The project has transformed a former parking lot into a destination waterfront location with 270 housing units and 13,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
