Kitsap
— you’ll like what you see
By CHARLIE BERMANT Kitsap News Group
Even with the modern annoyances of high gas prices, traffic congestion, construction delays and ever-changing weather, Kitsap County is still a pretty cool place for recreational driving. Residents and visitors can pick a destination, or just hop in the car and drive; knowing that sooner or later they will end up at a bridge, a ferry or a beach. Planned or random, you can begin a cruise in the early afternoon and be home for dinner. ➣ Page 7
Discover Kitsap With the increasing impact on the ecology of larger carbon footprints and an expected influx of people to the Seattle metropolitan area (and to a smaller degree, Kitsap County) the ability to hop in the car for an extended, leisurely cruise may soon become a thing of the past. In the meantime, consider the path between the Bainbridge Island to the Southworth ferries. The 45-mile trip, which takes a little more than an hour to complete, provides a fair cross-section of the county. It is also a backbone route that many residents use a portion to commute every day. From Bainbridge, follow 305 until it crosses State Route 3. Turn south and travel around 20 miles until the road sinks down and winds along the water. Bear left on SR-16 and pass through downtown Port Orchard. Go through the traffic circle and take Mile Hill Road until it too meets and follows the water. Turn left at the sign for the ferry. This is by no means a comprehensive tour of Kitsap County. You bypass the tourist meccas of Winslow and Poulsbo, and only skirt the shopping paradise of Silverdale.
Downtown Bremerton is off the track, along with the wild scenic realms of Hansville, Seabeck and Olalla. But there are several remarkable vistas, featuring diverse combinations of mountains and water. This includes a peek-a-boo over Poulsbo, and a spin around the Gorst inlet. Traffic can move slowly here — perhaps because the view is so distracting. This route is necessarily leisurely, as it represents the opposite of the shortest distance between two points.

Consider how the people on the west side of Bainbridge Island can make eye contact with people in Manette and Manchester, yet it takes about an hour to drive from one place to the other. For this reason, Kitsap commuters need to adopt a relaxed attitude. Parts of Kitsap are reminiscent of objects in a mirror, as they are often not the same distance as they appear. Kitsap is suffering its own growing pains, but they are hardly as painful as communities east of Puget Sound. Seattle suburbs are being replaced, with small vintage homes knocked down to make way for houses that extend to the property’s edge. As much as Kitsap’s traffic has increased, it doesn’t ever take an hour to go 15 miles. Changes will continue. Gas prices will get higher before they go down, more people will move to Kitsap as new retail chains will deign to open local outlets. But such changes are gradual. While we’re waiting for them to occur, we might as well take a drive. Charlie Bermant covers Kitsap County government for the Kitsap News Group.

Economy
By CHRIS REILAND For Discover Kitsap
Kitsap County dominates the eastern shore of the Olympic Peninsula in Northwest Washington state. You will find here stunning mountain, forest, and water vistas. You also get ready access to the worldclass business, trade, educational and cultural amenities of the Puget Sound Region. We’re located 35 minutes by ferry from downtown Seattle and 30 minutes by car from downtown Tacoma. A population just over 240,000 assures a diversity of economic, social and cultural activities. Kitsap County is a vibrant business and
Kitsap’s a great place to do
Business
economic development community. When the national economy recently experienced a threeyear downturn, Kitsap County has remained immune from the economic malaise. This is due to the significant presence of the U.S. Navy and to geographic, demographic, and institutional characteristics of our community. ➣ Page 9
Discover Kitsap A qualified workforce, businessfriendly governments, choice business sites, excellent telecommunications infrastructure, and a compelling quality of life have set the stage for expanded economic activity in West Puget Sound. Olympic College, with two campuses in Kitsap County and one in Mason County provides a wide range of educational opportunities including on-site and distance learning. Fouryear degrees are available from partner universities. Contract and continuing education programs are available to meet the specialized needs of local business. The availability of a well-trained, highly motivated workforce of 124,000 people remains the county’s strongest economic asset. Approximately onethird of resident labor pool travels to jobs outside the county. The remainder is employed by an array of local businesses including manufacturers, technology companies, defense contractors, service providers, retailers and distributors. The strong work ethic of a labor pool associated with military employment continues to attract attention from national employers. Spouses of military personnel, newly discharged sailors and retiring personnel make up a well-trained, highly qualified workforce. With the addition of well-qualified students from Olympic College, private training institutes and local high schools, Kitsap County remains a desirable location for prospective of employers. County and local governments are committed to job expansion both in word and deed. Local officials understand the importance of diversifying the regional economy. The adverse impact of defense downsizing is clear and the desirability of attracting new private sector jobs and investments remains a priority. Expanding and relocating employers have received firm commitments to shortened permitting timelines. Public agencies are well positioned to facilitate permits. A new land-use information system makes it possible to streamline the process and check progress online. The concept of business-friendly government with a personal touch has real meaning in Kitsap County. Basic telecommunications infrastructure in the Kitsap region rivals that available in the eastern ➣ Page 10
Discover Kitsap Puget Sound region. SPRINT has installed a point-of-pressure (POP) on the Internet in Poulsbo, making it competitive with major metropolitan areas. SPRINT has provided ISDN service at significantly reduced rates to businesses and residences in their greater Poulsbo region. Downtown Bremerton is heavily wired as a result of the Navy presence. Several SONET Rings already exist. Comcast high speed Internet has entered the market with some of the most advanced cable infrastructure in the region. Other players include Qwest, CenturyTel, and Wave broadband. Of particular importance is the Kitsap Public Utility District’s creation of a fiber optic backbone throughout the county. This now provides wholesale access to the Bonneville Power grid. In the language of telecommunications, this is a 144-strand fiber optic network that brings an additional OC-48 worth of connection from outside and will deliver it through an OC-48 Sonet and Gigabit Ethernet.

The backbone is operational now throughout the major population centers and is being expanded to Bainbridge Island and, subsequently, to Port Orchard. The cities of Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island are creating wide area networks linking their public facilities with this service. Olympic College will connect its three campuses. Cooperative ventures are being formed with business parks and the Navy. Plans are under way to create a teleworking e-hotel near Olympic College’s North Campus in Poulsbo. This high-capacity, redundant fiberoptic telecommunications system offers competitively priced and qualitatively outstanding service to institutions and businesses throughout Kitsap County. In short, Kitsap is a great place to do e-commerce. Washington State Ferries provide regularly scheduled vehicular and passenger service to metropolitan Seattle from at four terminals in the county; Kingston, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, and Southworth.
Passenger-only ferry services at Kingston and Bremerton provides more rapid transit during commuting hours. Bremerton National Airport provides a convenient means for the shipment of goods; a convenience augmented by its adjacent rail line. A rail connection to the deepwater port at Grays Harbor cuts at least one day off shipping time to Asia, as compared to shipment from ports inside Puget Sound. Commuting within Kitsap County is swift and unimpaired, with a four-lane highway connecting most employment centers. Although we have good sea, surface and rail access in and out of the county, the growing perception is that Kitsap’s future lies with telecommunications and software, and so we continue to build a state-of-the-art “virtual highway” by means of our multiple and redundant broadband communication corridors. Chris Reiland is chairman of the board of the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance.

Small-town charm just
Across Water the
By TAD SOOTER Bainbridge Review
Very little separates Bainbridge Island from its neighbors. Downtown Seattle is just a ferry hop away across Puget Sound, while Agate Pass bridge spans the divide to the Kitsap Peninsula over a sliver of saltwater just a few hundred feet wide. Yet visitors and residents alike are drawn to the island by an aura all its own. Farmland, forests, flourishing arts, a modern business district and a generous slice of history combine for a strong sense of place on Bainbridge. Balancing these Page 14
juxtaposed elements of Bainbridge, while accommodating rapid growth, has been the center of discussion among city planners and engaged residents. This same mixture, of old-and-new, ruraland-urban keeps the island a fresh and dynamic destination for visitors. ➣

Wineries Kitsap County has impeccable
Taste By CHAD SCHUSTER Bainbridge Review
Many oenophiles dedicate their lives to the pursuit of the perfect glass of wine. Ditto for vintners who spend a lifetime – sometimes more – trying to turn grapes into something greater. “We need at least two or three lifetimes to sort out what will work best here,” said Jo Ann Bentryn, who, along with her husband, Gerard, has spent nearly half a century cultivating wines around the world. After honing their craft in Europe, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, among other places, the Bentryns set their roots down in Bainbridge Island, where they’ve been growing grapes and making wine since the late 1970s. What makes Bainbridge ideal wine country? “Climate, climate climate,” Jo Ann said. ➣ Page 28
Discover Kitsap In simplest terms, she said, it’s not too hot, cold, wet or dry to grow grapes. Whatever the reason, Bainbridge has become a wine hot-bed of late, with several new wineries and tasting rooms sprouting up on the island over the past year. Local vintners aren’t concerned about crowding – besides being good for business, they say, the influx of new talent is a good thing for any visitors inclined to take in tours and tastings. Perennial Vintners — (206) 780-2146 — owned by Mike Lempriere and his wife Beth Schoenberg, is among the new arrivals. The couple began making wine as a hobby more than a decade ago, before eventually moving to the island to buy their own vineyard. Last year Perennial produced its first commercial vintage, a Muller Thurgau. A September torrent washed away the couple’s hopes of unveiling a new white wine made from Melon de Bourgogne grapes, which are favored in the maritime regions of northwest France, but little known in these parts. Lempriere said he may be able to salvage the crop by turning it into a nice
sparkling wine. His experience with the variety left him wondering whether it might not be “even pickier than pinot,” which is notorious for its stringent climactic requirements. Lempriere didn’t have to look far to compare, since the Bentryns grow pinots – that incidentally did quite well last year – at their neighboring Bainbridge Island Vineyards and Winery, (206) 842-9463. After more than three decades on Bainbridge Island, few would dispute that the Bentryns are the island’s most venerable vintners. The winery is one of two on the island – Perennial is the other – that grows its own grapes. Their methods, Jo Ann says, are “salmon safe” – they don’t use irrigation or insecticides and weeds are burned or tilled. The winery produces 10 varieties, among them a Pinot Noir, Muller Thurgau and three dessert wines. Though they don’t grow their own grapes, Matt and Sarah Albee, owners of Eleven Winery (www.elevenwinery. com), produce plenty of quality vino from their Bainbridge Island garage.
Their selections include a 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Port, a 2006 Sweet Sarah and a 2005 La Ronde, among others. The Albees believe the sampling of wine doesn’t have to be a stuffy experience. “Anyone who tells you that wine tasting is serious business or tries to make you feel bad about your level of wine knowledge is just plain missing the point,” they boast on their Web site. Other wineries are establishing island footholds, including Victor Alexander and Winery and Eagle Harbor Wine. The number of island tasting rooms also is on the rise – Harbor Square Wine Shop & Tasting Room and the Living Room both opened in 2007. Though the industry is growing, the Bentryns aren’t rushing to catch up. They’re small, and proud of it. “This is what we physically can handle,” Jo Ann said. “There’s a lot of hard work involved. I think we’re a bit old-fashioned.” Chad Schuster is a Bainbridge Review reporter.

Ferries Kitsap commuters living
Ferry-tale lives By WESLEY REMMER Bremerton Patriot
Whether you’re in Kitsap County on business, vacation or for the long haul as a resident, chances are you will ride one of the Washington State Ferries during your stay. The Washington State Ferry System (WSF) is the defining feature of Kitsap County — it plays an integral role in shuttling people around the Kitsap Peninsula, is the source of a rich history unique to the Pacific Northwest and truly makes Kitsap County a unique destination. Ferries have splashed the waves of Puget Sound since the early 1900s when small steamers known as the ➣
Page 32
Discover Kitsap the Mosquito Fleet began servicing the area — WSF actually came into existence in 1951 after the buyout of Puget Sound Navigation — and continue to carry riders today, into the 21st century. The Joe flows during the winter as riders huddle inside rain-pattered windows, peering toward the misty Seattle skyline. Summertime riders throw crackers off the top deck to salty seagulls, absorbing a sun glow from the nearby Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. And while seasons change, technology advances and fuel prices rise, WSF continues to operate. With a few recent additions, too. Last year the WSF introduced Wave2Go, a more efficient ticket operating system, now available on all domestic runs. Wave2Go allows passengers to purchase tickets at home up to seven days in advance, purchase reusable multi-ride commuter cards or purchase tickets at self-serve kiosk stations inside the terminal. Wi-Fi internet access also was recently added to each of the Kitsap ferry routes, allowing riders to get online

during their commute. Rates range from $29.95 for monthly unlimited access to $2.95 for a single day. Getting around Kitsap: You can reach Kitsap from downtown Seattle via two ferry routes — the Seattle-Bainbridge Island run and the Seattle-Bremerton run — and both are open to car and foot traffic. The busiest of the Kitsap ferries is Seattle-Bainbridge, a 35-minute-ride each way. From Colman Dock in Seattle hop on the boat to Bainbridge if you’re looking for a relaxing day-trip, or a nice meal — there are about a dozen decent restaurants in downtown Winslow, easily within walking distance of the ferry terminal. If you’ve got a car, drive straight off the boat onto State-Route 305 toward Poulsbo. Downtown Poulsbo is quaint, Scandinavian and home to more than a few quality bakeries. From Colman Dock in Seattle you also can get to Bremerton. The ride from Seattle to Bremerton is an hour, but on a good day, is well worth the time. The ride takes you along the south shores of Bainbridge Island, past Fort
Ward State Park and through Rich Passage, and will drop you in downtown Bremerton. You can access North Kitsap via the Edmonds-Kingston ferry route. It’s a short ride — only 20 minutes each way — and will put you in small Kingston, near Hansville. Drivers can follow signs off the boat to Highway 3, which will get you to Silverdale. Further south the Fauntleroy-West Seattle ferry route will gain you access to all of South Kitsap. The best bet is via car — you will be ab le to cover more ground — because downtown Port Orchard is seven miles from the Fauntleroy landing. But the drive is nice, and during summer months a can’t-miss farmer’s market opens every Saturday. Car and Passenger fares vary depending on the time of the year. Summer rates are always higher. For more information on Wave2Go, Wi-Fi, car and passenger rates and additional information about the WSF, visit www. wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/ Wesley Remer is Bremerton Patriot Reporter.

Tribes
Native
culture abounds in Kitsap County By KELLY JOINES North Kitsap Herald
Here in Kitsap County’s North End, two Native American Tribal entities — the Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam tribes — are dedicated to linking their past with the present. Ten thousand years ago, the Puget Sound water line was 200 feet lower. The earliest tribal settlers developed trails for hunting and routes to escape or charge attacks. Old-site seasonal settlements were located all over the Puget Sound including Dyes Inlet on the Hood Canal, Poulsbo, Suquamish at Port Madison, and Bainbridge Island at what is now Battle Point, Lynnwood and Eagle Harbor. During warm months, tribes would venture out to gather food. Their main travel was either by canoe or by foot along one of the many trails they had worn into the area. Suquamish Tribal Chairman Leo- ➣ Page 34
Discover Kitsap nard Forsman said there were trails that ran along what is now Anderson Hill, between Seabeck and Silverdale, one from Dyes Inlet to Island Lake, one from Suquamish to Liberty Bay and a number of others in Port Gamble and Keyport. Winter houses were built in colder months with cat-tail mats over the openings to keep in the heat. “I once had to clarify they were the plants not cats,” Forsman joked. “That would have been a lot of cats.” In the earlier days, tribal members practiced a complex spiritual system and shared the same creation stories told still today, said Forsman. There are many places in the Puget Sound have names that relate to a creation story. In 1792, Capt. George Vancouver and his fleet set foot on Puget Sound soil. From that day forward, local tribes, including the Suquamish and S’Klallam, struggled to gain their sovereign rights, which were established after a Tribal Constitution was written in 1965 and the 1975 Self-Determination Act was instated into law. Although both the Suquamish and
Port Gamble S’Klallam tribes’ pasts are linked, they are drastically different. Today, many Suquamish Tribal members reside on the Port Madison Reservation. In March they celebrated the beginning of construction for a new Old Man House. Construction is scheduled to be complete in time for Suquamish tribal members to host the 2009 Tribal Journeys for hundreds of people from Northwest tribes to gather and celebrate their ceremonial paddle. Suquamish tribal ancestors built the original Old Man House in Suquamish at Port Madison 1,800 years ago. It was home to the great Chief Sealth, also referred to as Chief Seattle, who the city of Seattle is named after. Suquamish comes from “d’suq’wub,” a Southern Lushootseed word for “place of clear saltwater.” Cultural resurgence is one of the biggest goals for the tribe, teaching children their native language, history and customs. Many members of the Port Gamble S’Klallam tribe live about 20 miles north in Little Boston.
S’Klallam comes from the Salish word meaning “strong and clever people.” Before European settlement there were many small bands of S’Klallams. Today, there are three: Port Gamble, Lower Elwah and Jamestown. Each have recognized separate sovereign governments. The 1,700 acre Port Gamble S’Klallam reservation is nestled next to Port Gamble Bay, one of the last remaining bays open to shell fish harvesting, an important source for local income. The S’Klallam House of Knowledge features a long-house, elders’ center, library and career and education center. A branch of the Northwest Indian College is also located there. To learn more about the tribes, visit the Suquamish museum or check out their individual Web sites: www.pgst.nsn. us and www.suquamish.nsn.us. The Suquamish Museum contains numerous artifacts and oral histories. It is located at 15838 Sandy Hook Road in Poulsbo. Kelly Joines is a North Kitsap Herald

Casinos
Kitsap County is a
Good Bet By TARA LEMM North Kitsap Herald
For those who’d like to score a little extra cash instead of spending while on vacation, Kitsap’s the right place. The county is home to two first-class casinos, the Clearwater Casino and The Point Casino. Both establishments offer a variety of slot games and a heaping helping of live table games. And of course, no casino visit would be complete without a smorgasbord of fine-dining restaurants, buffets, lounges, spas and entertainment venues to tantalize every players’ senses. The Suquamish Clearwater Casino boasts beautiful grounds, as it’s perched atop a wooded bluff over looking the Puget Sound. Step inside to find nearly 1,300 slots machines and a variety of table games ranging from uberpopular poker to blackjack, craps and roulette. For those who like to press their luck, the Clearwater hosts a poker tournament every Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. A $25 buy-in can to lead to winning “some pretty large cash ➣ Page 36
Discover Kitsap outs,” said April Leigh, Clearwater media coordinator. Gamers who’d rather play it safe can try their hand at the casino’s less intense afternoon tourneys. The tournaments start Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m. “It’s like going to school for poker,” Leigh said. “It’s an excellent way to learn poker.” Another option for winning a few extra bucks with minimal risk is the slot tournament held every Sunday. A $20 buy-in earns players the chance to win $1,000. If gaming isn’t your scene, despair not. The Clearwater offers a slew of music events. Every Friday and Saturday night patrons 21 years and older can jam to live music in the Beach Rock Lounge. And to make it a family affair, swing on down to the casino’s event lawn on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and listen to the tunes of Northwest musicians. The concerts are free and open to the public. “It’s a great opportunity for people in the community to come out and spend an evening listening to live music in a beautiful setting,” Leigh said. “Each year is increasingly popular.” The Angeline Spa is perfect for visitors who are in the mood for a little pampering. Enjoy a basalt stone massage, body wrap, facial or pedicure and watch your worries fade into relaxation. The casino is also home to an 85room hotel, including 10 suites. And members of the Clearwater Player’s Club, who’ve earned points by playing any game the casino has to offer, can cash those in for meals, merchandise, spa treatments, gasoline and hotel room credits. The Point Casino is in the midst of an exciting change, as the casino has outgrown its current facility, said Promotions Coordinator Dana Ballard. “We’re building a whole new casino and a hotel,” Ballard said. “It will be much larger, have a larger gaming floor and more amenities.” Although plans for a new and improved expansion are on the horizon, The Point Casino patrons will still find ample gaming and entertainment offerings. Among them, an expanded non-smoking game room. It’s now double the size with more game titles. This “hometown casino where everybody knows your name,” is open 24 hours a day to ensure even the most
sporadic gamer has a place to play. It offers the newest and loosest slot machines in Washington and is home to a few new table games: top 5 poker, spanish 21 and lucky ladies. The Point also hosts the traditional table games of roulette, fortune pai gow, Texas shootout, blackjack and royal match. A $1,000 slot tourney is held every thursday at 7 p.m. Buy-in is $20. The Point is also your place for quality customer service. “We take customer service to the utmost, and we’re fun,” Ballard said. The Point cares for customers by reimbursing ferry travel expenses up to $35 for one car and three passengers as long as each has an hour of tracked play.
Since playing on an empty stomach is never fun, the Point offers a free buffet for Players Club card holders approximately once a month. “As long as you’re old enough and have a card, you qualify for the buffet,” Ballard said. At The Point, Player’s Club points are strictly for cash, so members can use their rewards however they’d like. Whatever you crave while in Kitasp, both the Clear Water Casino, located near the Agate Pass bridge, and The Point Casino, located in Little Boston near Hansville, offer good times, good food and good games for visitors and residents alike.

Other nearby streets and avenues bear the names of the city’s founding fathers, and close by Waterfront Park provides a spacious green walkway down to the Port of Poulsbo, where the Classic Yacht Association holds an annual rendezvous of historic boats in early fall. Also held in Waterfront Park is Viking Fest, a May event that kicks off the summer season with a beloved lutefiskeating contest and Miss Viking Fest pageant. June’s Midsummer Fest celebrates the Summer Solstice in traditional Nordic style. Vikings roam the streets and potato-sack races and a fish toss provide entertainment for all. Come December, Poulsbo holds its annual Julefest, a time when Vikings escort the Lucia bride, known historically for her charity, from a torch-lit canoe in the bay to a waterfront bonfire, where she lights the wintertime flames. Later, Santa is known to commandeer a fire truck and make an appearance of his own in nearby Anderson Parkway, making the event one the entire family can enjoy.
Poulsbo’s Fish Park and Centennial Park are two other open spaces, each nurtured by a hometown community effort. Fish Park’s 13-acres sit along Lindvig Way on Dogfish Creek, and area Boy and Girl Scout, church and philanthropic groups have helped to plant trees, create trails and build benches to make viewing salmon runs and other flora and fauna a thing of ease. Centennial Park, a patch of green sitting adjacent to shopping hub

Max and more are reachable right from the recently widened State Route 305. The Greater Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce created for visitors a walking tour map of Poulsbo’s historic core. Three routes varying in length and difficulty take travelers to some of the town’s most picturesque places and beloved landmarks. Historic homes fall along the paths designated by the Chamber, including the Moe House, which was built in 1901 and served as a home for Ivar B. Moe, the man responsible for giving the city its name. The former locations of Iverson’s Meat Market and the Olympic Hotel are just a couple of the other destinations included in the tours. And in true Nordic form, Lutefisk makes its appearance each October, with First Lutheran Church’s and the Sons of Norway’s annual dinners, held within three weeks of one another.

Festivals
Kitsap events are truly
Special By RACHEL BRANT Central Kitsap Reporter
Once the sunshine begins to peek through the rain clouds, Kitsap County folks gear up for the best parades, food, carnival rides and fun Kitsap County has to offer. • North Kitsap. The streets of Poulsbo are swarmed by locals and visitors alike the third weekend in May each year to celebrate Viking Fest. The event commemorates Norway’s Constitution Day, or “Syttende mai” in Norwegian, and is referred to as Norway’s national holiday. Viking Fest is held at Liberty Bay Park Downtown Poulsbo Waterfront and has sights and sounds to please everyone. The celebration features a parade, food vendors, carnival rides, a car show, the Miss Viking Fest pageant and loads of entertainment. This year marks the 40th year of Viking Fest and you can bet the streets of North Kitsap will be teeming with activity. • Bainbridge Island. Bainbridge Island has its fair share of festivals. The Strawberry Festi-➣ Page 52
Discover Kitsap
val in June draws crowds from all over to enjoy ethnic dishes and lots of delectable strawberries. The Strawberry Festival, hosted by the Filipino-American community, takes place in June and features a variety of ethnic dishes including pork adobo, pancit, rice, lumpia, barbecued chicken and, of course, strawberries. Bainbridge Island also rings in the
Fourth of July in grand style with the Grand Old Forth celebration which includes a mile-long parade, fun runs, classic car show, music, food and arts and crafts booths. • Central Kitsap. Central Kitsap is home to Whaling Days, which is in its 36th year. About 50,000 people flock to Silverdale Waterfront Park and Old Town Silverdale the last weekend in July to listen to live music, eat great food and get topsy-turvy on carnival rides. Whaling Days kicks off Friday night with a spectacular fireworks display. Canoe races and the Lions Grand Parade take place Saturday and Old Town Silverdale is lined with street vendors selling all kinds of goods throughout the weekend. “We bring people together and we bring a great variety of entertainment for the entire family,” said Barry Iles, president of the Whaling Days executive board. The Rotary Club of Silverdale sponsors the Great Kitsap Duck Race during Whaling Days which raises thousands of dollars for the local community. • Bremerton. The military is a huge
presence in Kitsap County and what better way to honor them than hosting a festival to say thank you? Bremerton plays host to the Armed Forces Festival the third weekend of May. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the event. The Armed Forces Festival features a stellar parade and free barbecue for enlisted military men, women and their families. • South Kitsap. Port Orchard is home to Fathoms o’Fun, which takes place the last weekend of June through the Fourth of July each year. Founded in 1968 as the community’s annual summer celebration, Fathoms o’Fun puts on a superb festival every year. The Grand Parade, carnival rides, a scholarship pageant, concerts, children’s events, a golf tournament and an award-winning community festival float draw thousands to Port Orchard each summer. The Fourth of July Sinclair Inlet Fireworks Show caps off the Fathoms o’Fun festivities and draws more than 60,000 people to South Kitsap. Rachel Brant is reporter for the Central Kitsap Reporter.

Discover Kitsap has a unique personality of its own. Though there’s a bit of distance between each community, North Kitsap has great scenery that can be taken in during a leisurely drive or bike ride. • Kingston. A bustling center of activity, and not just because of its ferry dock, Kingston is a hidden treasure, offering a fine sampling of homecooking, great bakeries and cozy coffee shops. It’s a community that’s finding its own way, embracing what it is today while forging a path to a bright future. Leading the way to tomorrow is the Kingston Citizens Advisory Council, a group of volunteer citizens. Kingston’s Mike Wallace Memorial Park is a great place to play or just sit and watch the grass grow. The home of the Kingston farmer’s market, the park offers breath-taking views of the Puget Sound. In its first event each year, the Kingston community invites you to recapture — or capture for the first time — the simple joys of kite flying. Sponsored by the Downtown Kingston Association, the event debuted this year in late March. The Stillwaters Environmental Education Center also has its roots in Kingston. Each year the center celebrates Earth Day in April with Ecofest, which has booths to promote environmentally friendly products and offer a variety of ideas on how to reduce your carbon footprint. The park also bangs and booms on the Fourth of July. The day-long festivities are spread throughout the hamlet and are full of fun, food, games and live music. The day is capped with a spectacular fireworks display over Apple Cove at dusk. As the weather cools, the festivities don’t. Kingston’s Community Center is the gathering place for paying homage to the community’s history during Kingston Heritage Day in September. Festivities galore are also the order of the day for Kingston’s Country Christmas in early December. Events include a Santa breakfast, a lighted boat parade and a tree lighting. • Hansville. Lighthouse enthusiasts are drawn to Hansville’s own Point No Point, housing the U.S. Lighthouse Society, which relocated from San Francisco. For those craving a stroll without getting sand in their shoes, a network of hiking/biking trails — the Hansville Greenway — encompasses more than 175 acres of wilderness. Page 60
When it’s time to kick up your feet for a bit of rest, Hansville’s Buck Lake Park on Buck Lake Road offers a respite for parents and a playground for children. Hansville’s annual rummage sale is one for the ages. Donations are accepted nearly year-round, and proceeds for the sale benefits the community to fund programs, scholarships and the Greater Hansville Community Center. Hansville is the perfect getaway — close enough to be a one-day road trip, while providing a relaxed, downhome atmosphere. • Port Gamble. Port Gamble is a mecca of events suited for everyone. March Murder Mayhem wakes the event planners, inviting visitors to Wander the streets of Port Gamble, piecing together clues to figure out the intrinsic details of how William C. Talbot met his final fate. Participants are treated to food and wine to assist in their mystery-solving skills. In April, embrace spring by lacing up your shoes and hitting the trails for the Babcock Farm Trail, an early-morning four-miler. If you miss this running action, you can aim for the half-marathon in August. Grab your fuzzy dice and throw a fresh coat of Turtle Wax on your classic car for Cruz Port Gamble, Thursdays, May through September. Or you can step back into the Medieval period when jousting and jesting were favored pastimes. Look for this event, sponsored by the Society for Creative Anachronisms, in late May, early June. Port Gamble turns back the calendar
again in June. Civil War buffs unite when the Union and Confederate armies clash in the Washington Civil War Association goes all out, with hospital demonstrations, music and historic displays supplementing the action on the battlefield. Dogs are allowed — in fact, they’re the guests of honor — as the Muddy Paws Agility Club of Kitsap tests Rover’s meddle in July. The contest is sanctioned by the North American Dog Agility Council. Also in late July, artists and crafters alike convene for the Kitsap Arts & Crafts Festival, a juried and judged show. Artisans throughout the Northwest set up shop alongside food booths and children’s entertainment. Old Mill Days, which brings the Ferris wheel to town, eases the transition into fall in late September. Port Gamble caps off its year by celebrating Christmas in the new, oldfashioned way. Port Gamble’s Country Christmas includes caroling and a horsedrawn carriage. • Indianola. The town’s pavilion hosts the Saturday market, where the community goes to socialize. The market is tourist-friendly, offering T-shirts and other Indianola merchandise. The crown jewel of events, Indianola days in mid-August, brings out the sand artist in everyone. Visitors from far and near come to watch and participate in the show. The event is also home to a talent show, a pet parade and a whole lot more. Celeste Cornish is editor of the North Kitsap Herald.

There’s plenty more to Central Kitsap then meets the shopper’s eye. A retail mecca for sure, but dig a little deeper and it’s obvious that CK offers a little something for everyone — whether it’s a day spent at beautiful Silverdale Waterfront Park, browsing the shops of Old Town or hiking to the top of Green Mountain in Seabeck. Silverdale is indeed a shopper’s haven, featuring Kitsap Mall as well as several large stores and small businesses in the surrounding area. The mall, a popular spot on a cold Northwest day, is home to more than 110 shops, eateries and department stores, including
Kohl’s, J.C. Penney, Macy’s, Sears, Barnes & Noble and Cost Plus World Market. The warmer months, however, is when Silverdale is a hopping town. Whaling Days is by far the most popular event. The last weekend in July, Old Town Silverdale is quickly transformed into➣ Page 71

loving party for all ages, as the streets are lined with carnival rides, stages featuring entertainment for the whole family and plenty of indulging goodies. The weekend is full of different activities including a Silverdale Rotary Breakfast on Saturday morning and the Lions Grand Parade, where hundreds of spectators line Silverdale Way — a tradition for many locals. The Great Kitsap Duck Race is always on the Sunday of the event weekend with plenty of impressive prizes up for grabs. It’s all for a good cause, however, with proceeds from the purchase of rubber duckies benefiting the community. The grand prize, a brand-new truck, is always a hot commodity for those trying their luck at the race, hoping their duck makes it to the finish line first. Looking for a place to take the family for a day outing? Silverdale Waterfront Park is a great place to have a picnic, play a game of Frisbee or watch the boats as they venture in and out of the boat launch. The park features plenty of room for the kids to run around as well as a playground with a soft Nike Grind surface. Not far from Silverdale is Anna Smith Park on Tracyton Boulevard.

Discover Kitsap garden, a recently completed nature trail, a wide grassy area and a 200-foot stretch of beach. Activities abound well into the summer with two major events in August. Silverdale Thunder brings highpowered hydroplane races to the waters of Dyes Inlet Aug. 9-10. In 2005, Silverdale was named the best race site of the year by the Unlimited Lights Hydroplane Racing Association. Spectators line the shore at Silverdale Waterfront Park for the big races. The event also features a pit area where fans can get an up-close view of the thunderous hydroplanes. Just a few weeks later is the highly anticipated Kitsap County Fair and Stampede which draws visitors from all across the Kitsap Peninsula. This year’s event is scheduled for Aug. 20-24. Highlights include carnival rides for all ages, family entertainment, a variety of vendors and all of the rodeo action one could ask for including Xtreme Bulls which combines the best bull riders in the world with the craziest bulls out there. For those in search of a little outdoor exercise, Clear Creek Trail runs right through the heart of Silverdale. The extensive trail system offers a little bit of history along the way with several placards explaining the area and how it originated. Events are periodically hosted at the Clear Creek/Saq’ad Interpretive Center, located off Levin Road, known affectionally as “The Red Barn.” The once-delapitaed barn was refurbished in 1995 and, like the trail, is supported by the efforts of the allvolunteer group, the Clear Creek Task Force.

Discover Kitsap activities in Central Kitsap continue into Seabeck. With an extensive beachfront perfect for skipping rocks or walking along the shore, Scenic Beach State Park offers breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains. Seabeck is an area rich in history which comes alive mid-August as the community comes together for Crosby Days. The day-long celebration features logging and competition events, a parade and train ride, carnival games, vendors and an extensive car show. Central Kitsap is ideal for any watersports enthusiast with an array of boat launches from Brownsville to Misery Point in Seabeck. There are several popular lakes for swimming including Wildcat on Holly Road. The 11-acre park features basketball courts, a volleyball court, picnic area and a swimming area. It’s also a popular spot for fishing. Island Lake and Lake Tahuya also are ideal places for a swim or even just a relaxing day by the water. Green Mountain borders Wildcat Lake and is perfect for hiking, mountain biking or an all-terrain vehicle ride. On a clear day, Seattle’s skyline can be seen from the top. For the history buff, Keyport is home to the Naval Undersea Museum located next door to the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division, Keyport. Although the museum appears to be part of the base, it is open to the public and boasts free admission and parking. In the summer, it’s open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a week. Wintertime hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., open every day except Tuesdays. The museum has a variety of exhibits which feature video, audio and hands-on activities. Artifacts on display include major U.S. torpedoes dating from the Whitehead and Howell torpedoes to modern Mk 46 and Mk 50 weapons. Throughout the summer, Silverdale also is home to the Peninsula Farmer’s Market. The location, in the parking lot of the Silverdale Beach Hotel, is ideal for out-of-towners. The market features fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, desserts, and arts and crafts. Whether it’s hot or cold outside, there’s always something to see and do in the heart of Kitsap County.

Military Keeps Kitsap
By FRED MILES WATSON Northwest Navigator
The city of Bremerton continues a major revitalization to its downtown area with new business structures, restaurants and high rise condominiums on the waterfront called Harborside. But wait. A three story colonial styled building that is more than 111 years old has joined the facelift as the new home for the Puget Sound Naval Museum. Building 50 was con-structed in 1896 five years after the Navy purchased 190 acres of land on the shores of Sinclair Inlet and established Puget Sound Naval Station. The structure was orginally built for the first office of the shipyard commander and his engineers. Through the years other shipyard shops inhabited it and it was even physically moved several times. ➣

Discover Kitsap It was five years ago that an idea was hatched in moving the building, once again, but this time from inside the shipyard to a location near the waterfront in Bremerton to be used as a museum of maritime, Navy and shipyard history. Through tireless efforts by the Navy, city, state and federal officials and hundreds of volunteers, the building was given a green light to move. Before the move and the renovation, Bremerton Mayor Cary Bozeman commented about hearing that Building 50 was on the move to the city. “Someone told me the good news that we had secured building 50,” said Bozeman. “The bad news is I went over and toured it. We walked around the building and it was in pretty severe disrepair and I wasn’t even sure we could move it.” All in all, it took 30 months to plan and complete the operation of moving the museum along with help from Congress which helped get $1.6 million in funding to renovate the building, $200,000 to move in and another $1 million a year to operate the museum. The museum now features several different exhibits including; USS Parche (SSN 683), Puget Sound Naval Shipyard art, USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Room, exhibits about shipyard workers, a Dry dock theater, history on Building 50 itself and even a gift shop. Exhibits will continue to rotate often through the museum now that it is under the direction of the Naval Undersea Museum at Keyport and the Naval Historical Society in Washington D.C. Capt. Daniel Peters, commander of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility said the new museum was overdue for the area. “When I walked into the museum I thought it was a great way to honor those who came before us,” Peters said. “What a great use of the old building. I think this is a connection between the city and the shipyard, which has been longed for throughout the years.” The Puget Sound Naval Museum is located in downtown Bremerton just adjacent to the Bremerton ferry dock and Harborside Fountain Park. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is free. Meanwhile, inside the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, the rich history of maintenance and repair of Navy ships continues into its 118th year. It’s also the first and only shipyard in the world

A large crowd of supporters were on hand Aug. 24, 2007 for the ribbon-cutting ceremony that formally opened the newly renovated Building 50, the new home of the Puget Sound Naval Museum near Harborside in downtown Bremerton. that has inactivated and safely recycled nuclear-powered ships and submarines. Currently it’s the only major, certified nuclear-capable Navy shipyard on the West Coast. • Naval Base Kitsap consists of two bases. The naval station adjacent to the shipyard in Bremerton is the homeport for the Nimitz class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. And now, in 2008, the base has welcomed the Seawolf class submarines USS Seawolf and USS Connecticut, each with a crew of 140 sailors. NBKBremerton can accommodate two aircraft carriers simultaneously and has the capacity to house 1,800 sailors in its six bachelor quarters. • The second half of Naval Base Kitsap is nine miles north at Bangor which is home to Commander, Navy Region Northwest and the submarines, USS Jimmy Carter, USS Henry M. Jackson, USS Alabama, USS Nevada, USS Pennsylvania, USS Kentucky, USS Nebraska, USS Maine, USS Louisiana, USS Ohio and USS Michigan. To support that many submarines, NBK-Bangor operates as a complete support facility. It’s also home to the Marine Corps Security Force Co., The Seabees of CBMU-303, the Trident Training Facility, Intermediate Maintenance Facility Commander Submarine Group 9, Commander Submarine Squadron 17, Commander Submarine Squadron 19, Naval
Submarine Support Center, Submarine Development Squadron Five and the Navy Band Northwest. • Naval Hospital Bremerton located halfway between Bremerton and Bangor is a full-service military medical facility that serves approximately 56,000 active and retired military families with a full range of services ranging from pediatrics to internal medicine. This is accomplished through a staff of more than 1,400 military, civilian, contractors and volunteers. Medical staffers are also part of Fleet Hospital Bremerton, which can be deployed anywhere in the world and be operational in 10 days. The hospital is one of five family practice teaching hospitals in the Navy. • Another important element of the Navy’s presence in Kitsap County is the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, located just east of Bangor. The command is a major Navy underwater weapons engineering and test facility which opened in 1914. With a workforce of around 2,100, Keyport provides a wide array of services supporting the Navy’s undersea warfare systems, countermeasures, and aircraft carrier tactical support systems. It’s the Navy’s only maintenance depot for torpedoes and mobile targets. Fred Watson is editor of the Northwest Navigator. Page 79

Cruise
on in to Kitsap By PAUL BALCERAK Central Kitsap Reporter
If it floats, Kitsap County probably has a place for it. From Port Orchard to Poulsbo and pretty much anywhere in between, there’s no shortage of spaces to tie up a boat or take it for a spin. As a matter of fact, there’s nary a hot spot in the county that isn’t within walking distance of a marina or boat launch. Even for those who prefer to stay dry, Kitsap County’s cities by the Sound have plenty to offer to keep people occupied. Bremerton and Port Orchard anchor the South Kitsap Region and the Port of Bremerton is the go-to agency in terms of aquatic entertainment. The Port oversees both the Bremerton and Port Orchard marinas, which combined feature several hundred feet of moorage and several dozen slips. The marinas aren’t far from one another, but have unique features making visits to both worthwhile. ➣ Page 85
Discover Kitsap
The Port Orchard Marina features a fuel station and a 40-by-80-foot activity area, which yacht clubs often like to reserve, Marina Operations Manager Brian Sauer said. The town features several seasonal events, such as the farmer’s market from
May to October and Concerts by the Bay from July through August. There’s also plenty of window shopping to be done in Port Orchard. Bremerton’s marina is an ideal place to tie up and visit Bremerton for a day. Several restaurants, gift and antique shops are within walking distance of the marina and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard isn’t far off, either. Visitors also can hop a ferry to Seattle for the day. A foot ferry carries passengers to and from Port Orchard to connect with the Seattle-Bremerton ferries. Central Kitsap features three main areas to launch boats into Puget Sound: Chico, Silverdale and Tracyton. Additional marinas can be found in Seabeck and Brownsville and a couple freshwater boating options are available, too. The Chico, Silverdale and Tracyton launches are located in Dyes Inlet, arguably one of the bigger spots for seasonal water-themed events. Silverdale boasts the only floating pier in the Inlet and also is the home to Whaling Days, the annual community event that takes place in July. The launch also features easy access to Silverdale Waterfront Park and Old Town

The Port of Brownsville sits on Port Orchard Bay, away from the other marinas and boat launches in the county, and likes it that way. The port is billed as a getaway spot with “all the amenities of a large marina but with the charm, peacefulness and rustic setting of a small rural community,” according to the port’s Web site, www.portofbrownsville.org. Many permanent moorage slips are occupied at the port, as well as many privately owned boathouses, but 25 guest moorage slips for watercraft up to 24 feet are available. The port also features more than 1,000 feet of linear moorage. Kitsap Lake and Wildcat Lake are popular alternatives to the Sound, but Wildcat has a “no wake” rule, effectively eliminating high-speed boating activities. In North Kitsap, the two big spots are Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island. The Port of Poulsbo is formidable — it offers 130 guest moorage slips, a multipurpose room for group outings, a fuel dock and much more. The town of Poulsbo is a destination spot for window shoppers and trinketseekers and is widely known for its Norwegian theme. The theme is showcased annually at Viking Fest, which takes place May 1618 this year. Liberty Bay, the body of water that hugs Poulsbo, attracts kayakers and boaters alike each year. It’s highest traffic comes on July 3 each year, when fireworks displays light up the skies over the bay. Bainbridge Island isn’t lacking in water activities, either, as one might expect. Several boat launches, yacht clubs and marinas dot the island’s fringes and provide boaters with plenty of options for getting into the Sound. Paul Balcerak is a reporter for the Central Kitsap Reporter.

Summer quickly is approaching — even if it hasn’t felt like it at times — and as the weather heats up, so does the activity on Kitsap County’s numerous wold-class golf courses. McCormick Woods hosts, in South Kitsap, is scheduled to host its annual University of Washington coaches tournament on June 12. The event features groups that include UW coaches such as Tyrone Willingham (football), Lorenzo Romar (men’s basketball) and Tia Jackson (women’s basketball), in addition to other Huskies’ coaches. Shawn Cucciardi, McCormick Woods owner and general manager, said the event generally 180 players, including some former UW athletes. Eleven days later, McCormick Woods hosts the 15th-annual Detlef Schrempf Invitational. The former UW and Seattle Sonics basketball standout hosts the tournament with proceeds ➣ Page 87

donated to charities. Those are two of the major events at McCormick Woods this summer, but there are many smaller events at the golf course. Cucciardi said they’ve tripled the amount of events at the course since he took over in 2003. McCormick Woods offers a deal every afternoon where an adult can play 18 holes for $25 and also bring their son or daughter, who plays for free. They also offer a junior golf tournament that runs from May 8 through Oct. 9 and is available to boys and girls from first to eighth grade. Classes are held on Tuesday and are $25 per session, $200 for a 10-week punch card or $300 for a season pass. Gold Mountain, in Central Kitsap, also will host the Husky Invitational this year, according to Scott Alexander, the course’s director of golf. Alexander said Gold Mountain, which features two 18-hole courses, also will host the 2011 U.S. Junior Championship, which is a USGA event. For locals, the course hosts the Pepsi City Junior Amateur on June 7-8. For those who just want to spend a day on the course, Alexander notes that it was ranked as the second-best value in the country behind Bethpage Black, a course in New York, by ESPN in 2004 and Golf Digest in 2005. One promotion includes lunch, a cart for both rounds and range balls for $85. Another that runs after 2 p.m. Friday includes an 18-hole round, cart and prime-rib dinner for $49.95. Trophy Lake, a 18-hole course, still is sorting out its schedule as it seeks a new head professional, according to first assistant Jim Cayton. Prime-time rates Monday through Thursday in April are $49 for the public and increase to $64 Friday through Sunday. The White Horse Golf Club, which opened in Kingston on June 15, 2007, is the newest course in the area and offers panoramic views of Puget Sound, the Olympics and Cascades. Rates for the 18-hole course are $47 Monday through Thursday and $63 Friday through Sunday. Golf carts are $14 per person. Bruce Christy, the club’s director of golf, said they put down 13 inches of sand caps which makes it “the driest course around.” Christy said another highlight is the 11 1/2-acre driving range, which doesn’t feature mats and is all natural grass. It’s $8 for a large bucket of balls and $5 for a small one. Chris Chancellor is sports editor of the Port Orchard Independent.

Creative Think
in Kitsap County By BILL MICKELSON What’s Up
Located in an incredibly artcentric region, Kitsap County is home to artists of many stripes. From the young, starving artist looking for a way to make sense of life to the retired crafter who finally has the time to sit back and enjoy making art, to professional artists who illustrate books and magazines for a living. The downtown strip of any city in Kitsap harbors at least one art gallery. In Poulsbo’s case, there’s three or four, same thing in Bainbridge and Bremerton. South Kitsap boasts the Manchester Art Gallery and the Sidney Museum and Art Gallery, while Kingston and Silverdale have their own artists cooperative — Kingston Art Gallery and the Silverdale Fine Arts Gallery, est. 2007 — in addition to Poulsbo’s Verksted and Bremerton’s Collective Visions and Artists for Freedom and Unity. Artists cooperatives are a staple throughout the county. A co-op is a place were a group ➣ Page 90

of artists come together, pledging membership and man hours to keep the gallery up and running. And each month there is typically a featured artist at each place, which the gallery fetes with a reception. This past February, Bremerton’s coop, Collective Visions Gallery, reached a pinnacle by hosting a statewide juried art show with more than 200 works from around Washington juried by Susan Parke of the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConnor. The artists competed for a total $6,000 purse. A local artist, Chuck Smart, took home first prize for best of show. Smart’s studio, which he shares with another local artist in downtown Bremerton, is an example of a different kind of Kitsap venue for the arts. Every first Friday of the month he opens the studio up for show as part of the regular First Friday Artwalks.
During First Friday Artwalks, the galleries clustered in both Bremerton and on Bainbridge host block parties of sorts, with receptions at each gallery on the same night to celebrate the debut of new shows at each place. Local artists with downtown studios get involved and local businesses looking to capitalize on the artwalk foot traffic also open up their walls to local artists. Old Town Silverdale hosts quarterly artwalks on the second Saturday of every third month. There local businesses, like the Old Town Custom Framing shop, have been instrumental in showing and celebrating the work of local artists as there was no dedicated gallery until the Silverdale Fine Arts Gallery came on the block in late 2007. Just about everywhere you look in Kitsap, art is a community event. Bill Mickelson is the arts and entertainment editor for What’s Up.

Discover Kitsap
Dining
Kitsap is simply
Delicious By LINDSAY LATIMORE Bainbridge Review
Seattle may be an anagram for “let’s eat,” but visitors to the Kitsap Peninsula will find a range of dining options that make this side of the pond a culinary destination unto itself. Just off the Seattle-to-Bainbridge ferry, the Streamliner Diner (397 Winslow Way) offers breakfast and lunch and is a favorite weekend brunch stop for locals. At the other end of Winslow Way, Café Nola (101 Winslow Way) scales up a bit, although never too much. With its engaging bistro style, fresh seasonal food, extensive wine list and warm-weather patio, Nola does “quick lunch” and “let’s linger over dessert” equally well. Originally the home of early Bainbridge settlers Amanda and Ambrose Grow, the Harbour Public House (233 Parfitt Way) ➣ Page 92
Discover Kitsap has quickly become an island institution. Nearby Pegasus Coffee House (131 Parfitt Way) offers house-roasted coffee, treats and a weekend concert series. Bainbridge Island BBQ (251 Winslow Way) serves up what is perhaps the tastiest beef brisket sandwich in this corner of the universe; as a bonus, the restaurant offers an enormous weekend breakfast buffet in a casual, friendly setting. San Carlos Restaurant (279 Madison Ave.) celebrated its 24th anniversary this year; along with reliably tasty Southwestern fare and killer margaritas, San Carlos has cemented its place in island history by holding a raucous poetry reading each spring. Heading northbound into Poulsbo and North Kitsap, stop in to the newly opened Taprock Northwest Grill (760 NW Liberty Rd.), which offers fine but comfortable dining for the whole family in a Northwest lodge-style setting. Nestled in the heart of downtown Poulsbo’s Front Street is the Mor Mor Bistro & Bar (18820 Front St.). The restaurant offers a changing selection of steaks, seafood and pasta at lunch and dinner along with specialty cocktails, wine and artisan microbrews. Also on Front Street is Tizley’s Euro Pub and Deli (18928 Front St.), which insiders declare simply “rocks.” This family spot has a deli at street level with a full bar upstairs. In charming Port Gamble, the Port Gamble General Store (32400 Rainier Ave.) serves breakfast, lunch and ice cream daily; sit down and fuel up before browsing the aisles of this classic, newly restored dry goods store. And worth a North Kitsap nod: Suquamish’s Bella Luna Pizza (18408 Angeline Ave.), offering pizza, brew and a view. We needn’t say more, except that folks will travel far distances for an Uli’s sausage pie. The shopping and generally fullservice Mecca that is Silverdale has food for every palate. Silver City Restaurant and Brewery (2799 NW Myhre Rd.) specializes in fish and chips, fresh salads and crowd-pleasing burgers and grilled sandwiches. It’s also Kitsap Peninsula’s home for hand-crafted ales, lagers and sodas. Aficionados count the sushi at nearby Hakata (10876 NW Myhre Place) as
among the tastiest they’ve had; the familyfriendly Japanese restaurant focuses on freshness and friendly efficiency. If you don’t see it on the menu, just ask. Anchoring a quiet pocket of shops and businesses, the Yacht Club Broiler (9226 Bayshore Dr.) serves up steak, seafood and views along with a fullservice lounge. In Old Town Silverdale, Monica’s Waterfront Bakery & Café (3472 NW Byron St.) has dubbed itself “the center of the known universe for coffee and comfort,” and its patrons agree. In addition to earning a reputation for yummy sandwiches served on housemade bread, it was voted 2007’s best bakery in Central Kitsap. Heading south to Bremerton, stop in at Anthony’s on the Bremerton Harborside (20 Washington Ave.). The famous seafood restaurant brings fine dining to downtown Bremerton offering spectacular waterfront views of the recently renovated Bremerton marina. For truly fine dining in a cozy atmosphere, La Fermata (2204 E 11th St.) is the place. With an acclaimed wine selection and a quality menu that changes periodically, La Fermata offers first-class dining without the Seattle traffic. One of the newer additions to the Bremerton restaurant scene, El Corral has already gained a great reputation for its authentic Mexican food, courteous, friendly service and the best margaritas in town. For those who enjoy true
Mexican food, El Corral offers a true south-of-the-border taste. Straight from the Punjab region of India comes the authentic traditional cuisine that New Delhi (221 Washington Ave.) has become renowned for in downtown Bremerton. The restaurant has become a popular lunchtime destination as it is within walking distance of the Norm Dicks Government Center and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. A Bremerton landmark of sorts, the Boat Shed (101 Shore Dr.) is popular with both the family and after-work crowds as it offers casual dining with a great waterfront view. Seafood is its specialty, but it has something for everyone in a relaxed atmosphere that is second to none. Continuing your taste-buddriven journey into South Kitsap, you’ll find a number of tasty destinations in and around Port Orchard. Gino’s at Port Orchard (429 Bay St.) offers a range of inventive lunch and dinner dishes, from seafood cocktail to pear ravioli to paella, all with a complimentary view. Also serving lunch and dinner, Amy’s on the Bay (100 Harrison Ave.) specializes in fresh seafood and Blue Mesa Ranch All Natural Angus Beef, with an emphasis on local ingredients. Owned by bestselling author Debbie Macomber, The Victorian Rose Tea Room (1130 Bethel Ave.) serves the quintessential ladies’ lunch along with, of course, high tea – reservations recommended. Cosmo’s Ristorante & Delicatessen (1821 SE Lund Ave.) prides itself on making everything by hand in small batches, including its restaurant entrees, deli salads, soups, and the delectable take-home freezer meals. Puerto Vallarta (1599 SE Lund Ave.) serves up delectable Mexican fare for lunch and dinner. Be sure to stick around after 5 p.m., when the homemade tortillas start to fly. Golfers among us? The Clubhouse at McCormick Woods (5155 McCormick Woods Dr. S.) has been voted best golf course clubhouse and is known as the premier venue on the Kitsap Peninsula to host weddings, business meetings and tournament groups.

A city on the threshold of
Great Things By CHARLES MELTON Bremerton Patriot
Whether arriving in Bremerton by car or by ferry, the city is more than a never-ending construction zone. It offers a plentiful bounty of things to do and places to see all year-round. For boaters arriving from Seattle or other points of origin, the newly expanded Bremerton marina is the aquatic gateway to the Harborside District and the rest of downtown. The landscape has changed dramatically over the past five years as the Harborside Fountain Park offers a family-friendly setting for everything from picnics to playing in the submarine-shaped fountains, which are surrounded by wading pools. On hot summer days, the park is packed with kids of all ages playfully
splashing in the fountains. The park has plenty of chairs and tables for eating, and the strategically placed boulders in the park also provide places to rest. The fountains lead up to the Naval Memorial Museum of the Pacific in historic Building 50, one of the oldest buildings from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The building has found new life as the historic centerpiece of the Harborside District as visitors can see the past come to life in the everchanging exhibits at the museum, which ➣ Page 95

Discover Kitsap combines the stories of not only the ships which have been home-ported at Bremerton but the different shops at the shipyard as well. The USS John C. Stennis has two rooms of its own in the museum, since it is the main aircraft carrier homeported in Bremerton, and there is also a children’s room, where kids of all ages get a real feel for life in the Navy. Just beyond the Bremerton tunnel construction maze is Bremerton’s burgeoning downtown arts district, which is in full bloom on the first Friday of each month as many galleries stay open extended hours for visitors and potential buyers looking for the perfect piece of art to accentuate their home or office. Sidewalk chalk artists create Picassos or Monets or maybe even a sidewalk Rockwell before the occasional rains wipe the canvasses clean. Not to be outdone the tiny hamlet of Manette boasts its own summer fun as Manette Fest draws thousands of visitors across the Manette Bridge for one of the shortest parades found anywhere and a ton of fun for the entire family replete with food and beverage for all. In keeping with the holiday spirit, Manette and downtown join together on one night to bring holiday spirit across the city as Christmas trees are lit up in both areas and Santa graces Bremerton with some added yuletide cheer. The official Christmas tree of Bremerton is now permanently situated outside the Naval Memorial Museum of the Pacific as it adds to the splendor of the Harborside District. On the outer edge of downtown, Evergreen Park is a magnet for families and children, since it has everything from boating access to barbecues to playground equipment and picnic shelters. On sunny days, it’s hard to find a parking spot, although the park has ample parking on most days. Concerts are also held at the park as the sounds of a variety of bands echo through the city and across the Sound. The Black Historical Society of Kitsap County’s museum is also located on Park Avenue, and it offers a different perspective on the area’s history than can be found anywhere else. The museum has rotating exhibits and is an example of the diversity that sets Bremerton apart from the rest of the county.
Just across the Warren Avenue Bridge sits one of the city’s most popular parks. Lions Park is the hub of all softball and Little League action throughout the summer, but it’s also a great destination for walkers with its extensive paved trail designed for use in all types of weather. There’s also a large picnic shelter, a playground and a couple of barbecues, along with a fishing dock for those looking for a place to wet a line within the city limits. The waterfront access at Lions Park is hard to beat, and Lent Landing offers a quieter waterfront setting nearby for those wanting to watch the rising or setting of the Northwest sun. Not to be outdone, the west side of Bremerton offers plenty of recreational activities and sights to see as the city’s Charleston District is undergoing a renaissance with its own collection of aspiring artists who represent Gen-X and the younger, hipper crowd. For recreational enthusiasts, Pendergast Regional Park offers an indoor athletic facility for everything from soccer to flag football and it also boasts the city’s only off-leash
area for dog lovers and their canine companions. Kitsap Lake offers fishing and water recreational activities within the city limits and is an ideal place for a family picnic on a hot summer’s day. The park has a fishing dock and a couple of barbecues and a small playground area as it offers something for everyone. This year may be more noted for its construction projects, traffic detours and other minor inconveniences, but the fact remain that Bremerton has something for everyone from the recreational boater to the serious art lover to the average American family looking for a weekend getaway. The city has undergone massive changes since its near-death experience of the 1980s and it is on the rise to becoming the unique urban center of Kitsap County with the perfect blend of arts and culture and family-oriented recreational activities. Visit Bremerton and see why it is on the verge of becoming the South Sausalito of Puget Sound. Charles Melton is the editor of the Bremerton Patriot.

It’s well worth
Looking Into By AARON BURKHALTER Port Orchard Independent
Around a sharp bend of highway, it’s easy for those from the north to overlook South Kitsap; and driving from the south, one could pass by the little town on the way to Bremerton without even blinking. But with a heavy calendar of annual activities and an ever-growing arts community, South Kitsap is starting to get recognized as a destination in its own right — a goal held by the Port Orchard City Council for years. Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Coreen Haydock
Johnson said those in South Kitsap already know about its many offerings, but she’d like to draw in a few outside the area. “I don’t think a lot of the rest of the county knows about it,” she said. “We want people to come from outside of Port Orchard and Kitsap.” Former City Councilman Robert ➣ ➣ Page 109

Geiger leased his twin-screen theater to Bainbridge Entertainment Enterprises, which opened the Orchard Theater in December. Fans of lesser-known and independent films such as the films opening weekend selections “The Darjeeling Limited” and “Across The Universe” now have two screens in South Kitsap for viewing. The film cycles through new films every week, focusing on left-of-the-dial fair not found in most major multiplexes. Just walking distance from the theater is an array of restaurants including Amy’s On The Bay and the newly opened Gino’s, offering northwest-style grub with a focus on the regions best seafood. But come on a specific weekend to find some events showcasing the area’s unique personality. The first weekend in May, the area celebrates its 20th Annual Seagull Calling Festival. Participants get a chance to stand on the beach, throw their arms (or wings!) wide and shout like a bird. This year the event is adding a “Seagull” Wing Cook-off, where local chefs and caterers will face off, putting their chicken-wings recipes to the test. Last year the Seagull Calling Contest grabbed regional attention when it appeared on the Seattle-based television program Evening Magazine. August brings cars and a little rock and roll with the Cruz In. The event involves car shows and concerts down on the water for a proper send off to the summer. This spring brings the Farmers Market down on Bay Street every Saturday, where shoppers can buy local veggies and crafts. All of this follows major changes in regulations on Port Orchard’s downtown area. The central core of the town now falls under a document titled the Downtown Overlay District. The building and development regulations establish the height and design regulations for constructions within the area. Developers have been chomping at the bit to get into the area, but waited for these regulations to begin redevelopment. The Port Orchard City Council approved the document last year, establishing height limits from 27 to 55 feet depending on various factors. With the document complete, Port Orchard is ripe for remodel and redevelopment along the waterfront. With the Downtown Overlay District complete, the city’s historical downtown core is ripe for redevelopment, and at ➣

Discover Kitsap glimpse upstairs of what Port Orchard looked like during its more than 100 year history. All of Port Orchard’s downtown lines a beautiful waterfront. Just behind Bay Street from Sidney to Frederick lays a scenic waterfront park with the marina. During the summer residents pile along the grassy strip to watch the colorful display over the water. Local volunteer Cindi Lucarelli is bringing an annual event to the region to celebrate Port Orchards own New York Times best selling author, Debby Macomber. Macomber based her popular Cedar Coves series loosely on Port Orchards geography. Lucarelli wants to start the Cedar Cove Days in August of 2009. The event will bring in character actors, bay cruises and tea parties. Macomber has a strong fanbase nation-wide, and Lucarelli believes it will be a huge tourist draw for the region. Port Orchard was originally platted in 1886. Frederick Stevens named it Sidney after his father, but residents instead opted to name it Port Orchard, honoring Harry Masterman Orchard. That draw will hopefully benefit the entire area. Port Orchard is surrounded by a number of smaller communities, ➣

Discover Kitsap including Manchester, Southworth and Olalla, each providing a number of recreational activities. Manchester recently completed its community plan, and is facing a number of new mixed-use developments with commercial space on the lower floors and condominiums on the upper floors. The businesses will likely cater to the area’s summer boating crowd. Already in place is the Family Inn, a restaurant serving diner-style grub to breakfast, lunch and dinner crowds. The building is also the site for a lot of local meetings. Just across the street, the Manchester Library serves as a major community hub. The beach front features one of the few boat launches in the area, drawing huge crowds on sunny weekends. A number of parks in the area, including the Banner Forest and Howe Farm, feature great hiking and outdoor recreation. All of this comes with the backdrop of South Kitsap’s picturesque waterfront. At any moment, a simple drive through town turns into a scenic trek past water, wildlife and mountains. Aaron Burkhalter is a reporter for the Port Orchard Independent.

Whether your aim is to exercise yourself, your dog, your children or just sit and enjoy some music or scenery, South Kitsap has a park that offers all those activities and more. The . easiest park to find from downtown Port
Orchard — particularly if you’ve come to the city from the foot ferry across Sinclair Inlet or driven into town from Gorst — is the Waterfront Park, which extends along the water both east and west of the totem pole at the end of Sidney Road. If you walk west, you will pass the Port Orchard Library, the guest dock of the Port Orchard Marina and, if you happen to be strolling by on a Saturday, you just might catch the city’s popular Farmers Market. At the end of the parking lot is the park’s gazebo, which during the summer features live ➣ Page 117

music on Thursday nights and library programs on Tuesday mornings, along with a children’s playground available every day, year-round. If you walk west, you’ll enjoy an easy stroll past the rest of the marina and along to the Port Orchard Yacht Club. For those who want to explore the rest of the area’s parks, here are a few to visit, separated by activities.

how to
By AARON MANAGHAN Central Kitsap Reporter
As Kitsap County continues to grow, from the population itself to area businesses to road expansion, so too have sports opportunities. While the county has long been a source for sizzling spectator action, the sports scene in Kitsap County is blossoming as much as it ever has. Whether football, baseball or hockey is your thing, you can find it in Kitsap. • Football. Without a doubt, football has shown the most growth among Kitsap’s semipro and collegiate sports teams. While the West Sounds Saints (of Silverdale), the 2005 North American Football League 2 national champions, have long had the pigskin market cornered, the team’s success has paved the way for more gridiron Goliaths to kick off. The Saints, originally founded in 2000 as the West Sound Orcas, reached their pinnacle in winning the 2005 NAFL2 crown. That has since opened the door for a move to Division ➣ Page 120
Discover Kitsap I, where the squad won’t be lonely. Beginning this year, the Saints will be joined in the NAFL’s Olympic Division (part of the Pacific Region of the Western Conference) by the Kitsap County Bears, a squad that will be based on Kingston. “The teams from the Pacific Northwest Region are going to be a nice addition to the league,” NAFL CEO Rob Licopoli said. “We’re looking forward to a long and positive relationship with this area.” On July 26, both teams will kick off their inter-county rivalry when the Bears and Saints meet at Silverdale Stadium, West Sound’s home field. The Bears will play in Little Boston. Both offer some of the top local semipro football entertainment around. In addition to the team, the Saints also field a dance team for halftime entertainment. For more information about the Bears and Saints, visit www.nafl.org. The league begins in late June and runs through late September. • Baseball. As the area has grown, so too has it’s collegiate summer league baseball team, the Kitsap BlueJackets. The Jackets, members of the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League, feature a mosaic of baseball talent from universities and colleges around the country. Last year, Kitsap made the playoffs for the first time in its three-year existence. And while the league has grown off the field, expanding last year to eight teams in Washington, Oregon and Canada, the team itself has grown quite a bit on the field. In their first year, the BlueJackets went just 12-24, tying with the Spokane Riverhawks in the league’s basement. In 2006 however, the Jackets improved to 24-18, missing the playoffs by just a game. Last year, Kitsap was 25-20 overall, making the postseason for the first time but falling two games to one to rival Corvallis (Ore.). While for their first three seasons the Corvallis Knights proved Kitsap’s heated rival, the team has also struck up a competition with the Bellingham Bells, purchased this offseason by the Brett brothers (MLB Hall of Famer George and brother Bobby). The league itself is no stranger to star power, with several players getting drafted by MLB teams. The league’s first commissioner, Jim Dietz, was a legendary head coach at
San Diego State University, coaching then-future HOFs like Tony Gwynn. The league has named Ken Wilson, an inaugural Seattle Mariners broadcaster, as its president. The season begins in June and runs through early August. The Jackets call the Kitsap Fairgrounds Ballfields home. • Hockey. The Puget Sound Tomahawks (formed in 2000 as the Kings) play in Bremerton in the Northern Pacific Hockey League (NorPac). With home ice located at the Bremerton Ice Arena, the Tommies play a schedule that begins in midSeptember and continues though the end of February. While the T’Hawks finished just 14-34, fifth in the NocPac’s Pacific Division, and went just 16-30 in 200607, Puget Sound has been building young talent that looks to get them back to the form of the 2005-06 team that went 31-13. More information about the Tommies and the NorPac can be found online at www.thenphl.com. Aaron Managhan is sports editor of the Central Kitsap Reporter.

Hooked Get
on Kitsap County By DEREK MILLS For Discover Kitsap
Situated in the heart of the Puget Sound, between the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, surrounded by over 300 miles of saltwater shoreline, dotted by hundreds of freshwater lakes and laced with numerous rivers and streams, Kitsap County is the sort of place where it’s nearly impossible not to fish. But where are the very best spots on the Kitsap Peninsula for anglers? Here are but a few: • Lowland lakes For the trout enthusiast, Kitsap County offers plenty of lakes to whet one’s appetite. Most lakes are best fished from a row boat, but some can also be fished from public docks. Kitsap Lake in Bremerton is one of the most popular lakes, and it’s open year-round. Kitsap Lake is great for trout, bass and perch. ➣ Page 124
Fishing
Discover Kitsap
Horseshoe Lake in Port Orchard is a fun lake to fish for trout and bass alike. It is open from the last Saturday in April until Oct. 31. Another good lake around here is Long Lake, also in South Kitsap, which is primarily fished for warm-water species such as Bass, Bluegill, Crappie, and Perch. Long Lake is open year-round. Fishing techniques in the lowland lakes vary from “still” fishing with Power Bait to trolling a wedding ring tipped with a worm to fly fishing. Most methods will work — the secret is to become proficient in your chosen technique. • Rivers and streams: In the fall, when salmon are returning to their native streams, the opportunity to catch a huge Chinook, coho or chum abound. The most notable river for catching any of the three species of salmon is the Skokomish River — more commonly referred to as “The Skok.” It is not uncommon to hook and land fish over 30 pounds, with the occasional fish in the 40-pound range, but the average fish will be around 15 pounds.
Fishing starts for kings in August, then switches to coho by October, then the chums take over the river by December. • Saltwater beaches/docks: A lot of the smaller streams that flow through the area are closed when the salmon return, but the mouth of the stream is a fantastic place to catch bright fresh returning fish. The solitude may be lost in these areas, but the constant action of schools of salmon swimming by make you forget about anything else. Starting in September and ending near Christmas, check out Chico Creek, Minter Creek, Gorst Creek and Blackjack Creek, just to name a few. There are also a couple of Public Piers that are open year-round. Waterman Pier in Port Orchard is one of the best. Almost anything can be caught from the pier — salmon, flounders, sharks, cutthroat, perch, herring, squid and even crab. When you’re walking Kitsap County beaches, don’t overlook the opportunity to enjoy some of the finest seafood on the Pacific Coast. Many beaches are home to Pacific oysters, manila clams
and the geoduck. As you can see, the fishing opportunities on the Kitsap Peninsula are endless and I haven’t even mentioned salmon trolling in the salt water, Ling Cod, Halibut or numerous other fish and shellfish. I hope everyone gets to enjoy the natural bounty we have to offer in this region and that everyone respects it. As always, remember to check for seasons and limits. Derek Mills is the owner of Bay Street Outfitters in Port Orchard.
