Two Found Dead in Unincorporated Poulsbo Home: Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office Investigates
Poulsbo, WA — October 7, 2025
A somber discovery was made early this morning in an unincorporated area of Poulsbo, where two people were found deceased inside a residence. The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) has confirmed that the victims were residents of the home and that detectives are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Incident Overview and Law Enforcement Response
Deputies and detectives from KCSO responded swiftly to the scene after reports led authorities to the secluded property. Upon arrival, both individuals were found deceased. The identities of the victims have not been publicly released, pending confirmation by the Kitsap County Medical Examiner’s Office and notification of their next of kin.
The scene remains secured as detectives conduct a thorough investigation. Authorities have reassured the public that there is no active search for a suspect, and there is no threat to public safety at this time.
Cause of Death and Next Steps
The Kitsap County Medical Examiner’s Office will be responsible for determining the cause and manner of death. This forensic analysis is crucial for providing clarity to the investigation and for official confirmation of the identities of the deceased.
Law enforcement officials emphasized that due to the ongoing investigation and the sensitivity of the case, no further details will be released until the Medical Examiner’s findings are complete and families have been properly notified.
Community Impact and Public Safety
KCSO has assured residents that the investigation will have minimal impact on traffic or daily activities in the immediate area. The crime scene is located in a remote part of unincorporated Poulsbo, minimizing disruption for neighbors and local traffic.
To protect the integrity of the investigation and out of concern for past incidents, the Sheriff’s Office has chosen not to disclose the street name or block number publicly. This decision follows previous experiences where crime scenes have been targeted by burglars and thieves after being publicized on social media platforms.
Law Enforcement Statement
“We understand the community’s concern and are committed to keeping the public informed while balancing the need for a thorough investigation,” said Sheriff Carl Jackson. “Our deputies and detectives are working diligently to uncover the facts behind this tragedy and bring any necessary resolution.”
