A waterside residential community with about 60 families (nearly half summer residents) and no commercial establishments, where little has changed in 30 years. With an average of 68" of rain a year it is the greenest corner of the Kitsap Peninsula. Anderson Creek and Holly Creek have the purest water because there is so little development.
Holly is an unincorporated community in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. Named in 1895 for the presence of a large holly tree, Holly is located in the southwestern corner of the county, along the Hood Canal.
