Holly is a small, quiet place in Kitsap County, Washington, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county.
The community got its name in 1895 because of a very large holly tree growing there. Holly is found in the southwestern part of Kitsap County, right along the beautiful Hood Canal.
