Kitsap County is filled with Trump folks. As a biracial nonbinary person I made the move to Tacoma because I was tired of the whispers and sometime blatant racism. There are safety issues in Tacoma, as in any city, but it is also a place with so much character and a ton of families and communities. Moving towards Kitsap from King or Pierce County it just gets more conservative. I grew up in Gig Harbor and it is a Christian town, but like pseudo religious where all the teens still drink and have sex but feel comfortable discriminating against marginalized people.

I’m no criminal mastermind but if my heist master plan relied on cutting the power to a specific location I’d probably do the research ahead of time to ensure I didn’t have to hit numerous locations (which is exactly how they were caught), probably just not rely on hitting substations in general for exactly this reason (seems far easier to hit the power to the location more directly), and definitely not commit a significantly more serious crime just to enable my intended crime.

I would say Silverdale, Poulsbo, or Gig harbor (Pierce county though). I’ve lived in Bremerton and Port Orchard too, Port orchard has a really popular town talk page where you can see just how crappy some folks are. The schools in Port Orchard are absolute garbage. We came out to gig harbor when we had a kid just for the schools, plus it’s nice. As you go north you have the military base (Poulsbo area) and more diversity with that. Over on this side of the sound is definitely not as liberal and I see a lot of trump crap near me but you’re still in a very liberal area, as is the this side of the state.

It's pretty unlikely they knew which substation they needed to hit to take out power where that store is. After all, do you know which substation feeds your area? It might even have genuinely required multiple due to the fact that power companies try to set up their grids so that areas have multiple lines feeding a given area.
