HANSVILLE — Putting a new spin on an old site, the public recently welcomed Norwegian Point Park into the growing family of passive use spaces in North Kitsap.
An old boat house at the site was elbow to elbow Saturday as Kitsap County officials, work crews and Hansville volunteers were honored for their efforts in the park’s acquisition, and visitors were invited to explore the new addition.
POULSBO – 2006 was a banner year for Little Norway financially as the city entered 2007 with more than $900,000 in general fund carryover.

POULSBO — When the Poulsbo City Council made the installation of fiber optic conduit part of its development regulations in 2001, it didn’t attract much attention.
