I join the community in extending our thanks to the state and county road crews for their tireless efforts in clearing and sanding our roads. It can be discouraging to work all night plowing snow off the roads only to have them covered up the next day, but unless you stay on top of it, the roads really become a mess.

City Hall
This is why all the fuss
In response to “Why all the fuss” with regard to the Poulsbo City Hall problems, Ms. Gearliach’s Aunt Muriel may appreciate another point of view. I was proud of the literally hundreds of Poulsbo residents that stepped forth to express their desire to have the hall located in the downtown area. For myself, the thought of doing another makeshift was just too gut wrenching. After so many years of doing that and with the need so great, I felt let’s start from scratch, let’s think ahead and let’s do whatever it takes to not have to do this again for at least another hundred years. Although I had nothing against the 10th Avenue location, it was pleasing to see the people come forward and express their desires.
I’m not in favor of putting a library on top of a parking garage, or on Prospect Street. There are…

Many thanks to the fine residents of the Forest Rock Hills neighborhood of Poulsbo who donated to the sixth annual food drive in support of Fishline food bank. We brought in a record 1,077 lbs. of donations just before the holiday season. Even in our time of economic uncertainty, these giving people contributed as never before.
City Hall
How much, exactly, is a study worth?
Have you ever wondered how much of your tax dollars the city of Poulsbo has spent on their studies? You could just about put a down payment on the city council’s new city hall.
I could never understand why the city has to have these studies done when in fact they have high rollers in key positions to make to make these studies.
