Gorst, Washington

Gorst, Washington

Gorst is an unincorporated community at the head of Sinclair Inlet in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. No census population figures are available, since the town is not incorporated. Gorst, located on the shores of Puget Sound, is primarily a town consisting of stores, auto dealerships and a strip club that service nearby Bremerton. A residential area, located west of the water along State Route 3, also exists.

Gorst is named for the Gorst family who settled there in the 1890s. Famous residents of Gorst include Vern C. Gorst, "grandfather" of United Airlines, and Edward S. Curtis and Asahel Curtis, well-known photographers.
