POULSBO — State Route 305 has been a route of change since construction to widen the thoroughfare began in August 2006.
At its orange-coned peak the road became the root of many driver’s frustration.
But the project originally slated to wrap up last fall is now heading out of winter hibernation and into its final leg, and the Washington State Department of Transportation is saying this October construction will finally be complete.
t Final overlay expected to occur this summer.
A local fast-food worker was arrested after allegedly spitting on a Port Orchard man’s hamburger after the two argued over football teams, the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office reported.
Following the success of a similar event in October, Kitsap County plans to co-sponsor a “stand down” event for veterans on May 3 at Presidents Hall at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.
Two years ago, South Kitsap Helpline Executive Director Jennifer Hardison launched a program to help hungry young tummies get through the summer.
This week, thanks to help from Wal-Mart, Hardison is expanding the program to include Spring Break.

BREMERTON — Poulsbo native Amy Stadshaug is royalty once again. Stadshaug was crowned Miss Poulsbo Saturday evening as last year’s Miss Poulsbo, Alex Duchemin, passed the title at the Miss Poulsbo/Miss Kitsap Scholarship Pageant in Bremerton.
“It’s a feeling I can’t even begin to describe,” Stadshaug said after winning the title. “It’s an honor. It’s an honor, to say the least.”
BREMERTON — Patty Cochrell’s father always asked her when she was going to become a hospital’s chief operations officer (COO).
Although Malcolm McPhee did not live to see the day his daughter became Harrison Medical Center’s COO and executive vice president, Cochrell knows her dad is proud of her.
