Kory Anglesey, P.E. announced as Kitsap County Public Works Director

("Port Orchard, WA") – Kitsap County is pleased to announce that, after an extensive nationwide search, Kory Anglesey, P.E. has been appointed as the County’s new Public Works Director. With a distinguished career spanning over three decades in military service, Anglesey brings exceptional leadership and strategic expertise to his new role, focusing on enhancing infrastructure, financial sustainability, organizational development, and community engagement in Kitsap County. Anglesey will begin Tuesday, September 2. He replaces long-time Public Works Director Andew Nelson, who retired in April after nearly 11 years of service to Kitsap County.  

Anglesey’s most recent military roles were focused on public works leadership at two Navy installations and one Marine Corps installation. He most recently served as the Public Works Officer at Naval Base Kitsap, where he managed a department of over 600 people, overseeing $13.1 billion worth of facilities and a $265 million annual budget. His team handled major construction projects, environmental programs, and facility planning, with a particular focus on waterfront development and coordination with federal, state, and local regulatory agencies. His experience of leading large teams and managing multimillion-dollar budgets has established him as a trusted leader in the field. 

Before returning to Washington State, Anglesey served as the Public Works Officer at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, where he led a department of 171 personnel, managing a $75 million budget and spearheading multiple sustainability initiatives. He also served as the Public Works Officer at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, where he managed $1.1 billion in facilities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring project success despite global disruptions. 

“We need excellent public infrastructure to support our community, especially as it grows, in smart and sustainable ways,” said Commissioner Christine Rolfes, Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. “We believe Kory’s outstanding strategic leadership experience across various roles in Public Works makes him a fantastic fit for this important position.” 

“Employees are the County’s most valuable asset,” said County Administrator Torie Brazitis. “Kory’s expertise in infrastructure management and thoughtful approach to team leadership, collaboration, and employee development allows him to lead the Public Works team in taking care of Kitsap County’s daily needs in roads, utilities, and public facilities.” 

Anglesey holds a Bachelor and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from Brigham Young University and the University of Colorado at Boulder, respectively. He also received a Master of Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College. He continues his path of education as he begins the Executive MBA program at the University of Washington Foster School of Business this fall. 

“Being a Washingtonian, I am excited for the opportunity to give back and to serve Kitsap County,” says Anglesey. “I look forward to learning and growing with the Public Works team.” 

Anglesey is a native of Spokane, WA, who is passionate about strengthening community relations, sustainable infrastructure development, and emergency management. Outside of work, he enjoys outdoor activities and sporting events with his family, including attending Seattle Mariners games. He and his wife, Tiffany, a registered dietitian, have four children and are active in their local church and community.
