The Silverdale location follows the Tribe’s expansion into Bremerton and Poulsbo in 2024. Officials said the new market is expected to open by the end of 2026, with plans for additional retail development at the site in the future.

“We are so excited to continue providing services and economic opportunities to Silverdale and everyone throughout Kitsap County,” said Chairman Leonard Forsman, noting the region’s significance as Suquamish ancestral land.

Clearwater Market is operated by Port Madison Enterprises, the Tribe’s economic development arm, which also manages the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort, Kiana Lodge and White Horse Golf Club. Leaders said the project reflects a broader strategy to expand the Tribe’s retail footprint, create jobs and strengthen the local economy while honoring cultural ties to the region.
