 Kitsap County considering limitations on drone usage near local military installations
Based on National Security concerns raised by the U.S. Navy, Kitsap County is proposing limiting drone usage within 3,000 feet of its five military installations (Bangor, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Manchester Fuel Depot, Keyport Underwater Warfare Center and the Naval Hospital). This would only apply to properties within unincorporated Kitsap County (no cities at this time) and may require drone users to notify the County and Navy in advance of launching drones in these areas.
Kitsap County would like to discuss these proposals with drone users, property owners and interested citizens in advance of future consideration by the Board of Commissioners. To gain more information regarding the specific proposal and ask questions, please join us at an upcoming Open House.
