A Place for Gathering

Since time immemorial, communities have had a gathering place. That place often resided in a special location, sometimes in the center of a village, often in the shade of an ancient tree. Now the Marvin Williams Center joins that dynasty of community gathering places as it serves the community of West Bremerton and beyond.

The Marvin Williams Center was created to encourage widespread public access and enjoyment. This 20,000 square foot, two story, state of the art facility is designed to foster a sense of community and provide a platform for extraordinary events. Whether it is a kids basketball game, a cooking class or a wedding reception, the Marvin Williams Center provides a beautiful and comfortable setting for all.
