2026 4th Fireworks were dog approved
Just a general thanks to Bremerton revelers who blew stuff up almost exclusively on Saturday. Gave us 1.5 days to med up against and we are grateful that it was no longer a week long fluster cuck. The lights are beautiful and I’m glad folks get to celebrate while we all get to keep our sanity. My PTSD and pups thank you.
Fast Ferry for US Soccer?
My wife and I are planning on taking the fast ferry to Seattle on Monday for the US soccer game, is it reasonable to expect to get a spot on the 1035 ferry if we show up 20-ish minutes early, or has it been super packed for the world cup games?
What do you need from local news?
Hi there, I'm Alex Rochester, KUOW's Digital Community Engagement Producer. My job is to talk with the KUOW audience and Puget Sound region residents about their local news needs.
Our midday broadcast show and podcast Soundside is a newsmagazine radio show that keeps you up to date on local issues and then dives deep to build understanding. The team are currently asking listeners and non-listeners for their hopes, dreams and constructive critiques of the show. Anyone who cares about local news is welcome to participate!
Please fill in this survey or share your answers to the following questions in the comments.
If you're a listener, what do you want more or less of in the show?
If you're not a listener, what would it have to feature to feel worth your time?
Do you want more stories that focus on politics, community-solutions, outside of Seattle, arts & culture, and/or panel discussions with multiple perspectives? Do you want less of something?
The team asked for listeners to weigh in because they take feedback very seriously, so the more detailed your thoughts the more it will help them understand how best to serve the public with the news they need.
Bremerton Residents
Dear Neighbor,
Bremerton Housing Authority (BHA) has purchased the property at 1231 Sheridan Road (corner of Sheridan and Wheaton Way. They plan to put a low barrier (no background checks) homeless shelter on this property. That is currently allowed in the city Comprehensive Plan for up to 180 days,
but BHA wants to change the zoning language to allow for up to three years with the option to renew. They have not met with nor notified neighbors and are trying to expedite the process before funding
expires in December.
https://www.bremertonwa.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/\_06152026-614
Because they have not held any public meeting with the neighborhood, we do not know their exact plans. The current request is framed as an amendment to the Temporary Encampment Permit section. The applicant's pre-submittal conferences describe an emergency walk-up homeless shelter, tiny home village, and panelized emergency shelters. But they have talked about 75 people and growing from there if it is successful. Because they have changed the description of what they plan numerous times, it is difficult to know exactly what they plan. That is what causes us the most concern. Whatever plan they present, if the zoning change is approved, they do not have to stick to the plan. It is their property and they can do whatever's allowed in the Comprehensive Plan.
If this concerns you, there is a Planning Commission Workshop the Norm Dicks Conference Center (City Hall), 345 6* Street, on July 20 at 5:30 pm. BHA will present their plans and allow the public to comment. If you are not comfortable speaking in public but would like your voice to be heard you can
send an email to garrett.jackson@ci.bremerton.wa.us or you can mail your comments to:
Garrett Jackson
City of Bremerton
Community Development
345 6 Street, Suite #100
Bremerton, WA 98337
We encourage you to also email comments to the City Council who makes the final decision once the
Planning Commission completes their process, at city.council@ci.bremerton.wa.us or by mail to:
City Council Office
345 6th St., Suite 100
Bremerton, WA 98337
You may also send a letter to the Editor, Kitsap Sun, PO Box 259, Bremerton, WA 98337.
Letters are limited to 250 words.
The parcel at 1231 Sheridan Road lies within the Harrison Heights Subarea Plan, an adopted component of the Comprehensive Plan created through a robust public process with extensive citizen involvement. The Subarea Plan establishes a clear vision for this neighborhood: stable residential development, walkability, livability, and long-term reinvestment. Any zoning amendment that enables a high-intensity, 24-hour emergency shelter or encampment on this site would directly conflict with
that vision.

Speaking Italian
Hello! I am looking to learn Italian. I can’t really afford a tutor at this time and am hoping to find someone who might be willing to help me practice actually speaking/ hearing it. Any one able to help or have any Nonos or Nona’s out there who might help? Can discuss some type of exchange!

reddit.comMechanics Please Help
Edit: Job's done! Thank you to everyone who reached out.
Will pay $100 to whoever can help me resolve this. I have a stripped bolt on my truck that I've been fighting like hell. I bought a set of bolt extractors but they're 3/8 drive and I keep breaking my 1/2->3/8 adapters. I've been giving it heat, penetrant, all the sauce to no avail. (Just as a note by the way this has all been with hand tools, I'm here for a summer job so all my good stuff is at my home in Montana)
Ideal solution is an air hammer with a bolt breaker. I don't have an air compressor so we'll need that too. Or if you have any other ideas I'm all ears. Maybe just an impact with a good extractor socket would do the trick. All help is greatly appreciated. Classic "simple job" turns into a 3 day shitshow.
digital art class
My 13 year old wants to learn digital art skills. Anyone know of any classes or programs around that he could sign up for? We did the silverdale YMCA digital art class, but that was too simplistic. Is there something a bit more in-depth that accepts kids his age?
Rodent issue in West Bremerton home. looking for reputable pest control (and advice)
Hi all, I’m in Bremerton and I’m worried I may have a rodent issue in my house. I won’t lie, the house has gotten pretty cluttered over time while I’ve been going through some rough personal stuff, and I’m now starting the cleanup process.
While cleaning, I’ve found rodent droppings inside the house (a few in a single room), and I’ve also found a couple of dead rodents outside. I already have a few poison boxes outside and some basic traps set up, but I’m honestly feeling overwhelmed and not sure what the right next step is.
I should also mention I have a pretty intense fear of rodents, seeing them really sends me into panic, so I’m trying to handle this in a way that doesn’t turn into a bigger mess or make things worse.
Does anyone in the Bremerton/Kitsap area have recommendations for reputable pest control companies that are good with rodent issues? Or any advice on who to avoid?
Appreciate any help or direction.
Contractor
We’re looking to remodel our kitchen. Does anyone have recommendations for a contractor?

Thank you mods for telling me everything o had to know about y'all protecting an active rapist.
Taking my post down again and threatening me with a ban when there are police reports on the person which are stated in the photo and I literally stated multiple times that I got the information from a crime watch page is disgusting. Shame on all of you vile people. You don't care about women or fems whatsoever.
Parking at Washington Avenue Garage
I was looking at taking the Ferry into Seattle for 2 days and wanted to know a couple things from folks that use it far more than me. I looked at the website but these are some outstanding questions I still have.
- Is this a safer garage?
- Will I have any issues finding a spot for weekday parking?
- More than one night okay?
Thank you for any help!!
