POULSBO — Nearly one year ago, a conditional use permit application spurred the Poulsbo City Council to rethink the value of Old Town Poulsbo.
Last week, the scene replayed itself in another portion of Poulsbo’s oldest residential area and neighbors are once again concerned about the character of their area.
KINGSTON — A 49-year-old Little Boston man was pronounced dead at the scene after a two-car collision on Miller Bay Road last weekend, said Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office officials.
POULSBO — Eleven seems to be Ryan Young’s lucky number these days.
The North Kitsap High School junior, who won a state title this year for his skills with the javelin, came away with an 11th place finish at the junior nationals track and field competition June 25-27 at College Station, Texas. POULSBO — Eleven seems to be Ryan Young’s lucky number these days.

If the Washington State Department of Transportation learned anything this week in Poulsbo, hopefully it was this: poor planning often breeds poor solutions. Such is definitely the case with State Route 3.
POULSBO — Paper clips, matches, bread tabs and diaper pins.
All are objects that don’t garner much attention — that is, until Northwest College of Art senior Johanna Chambers got her hands on them.
Especially the bread tabs.
POULSBO — There is hope yet for the financially-strapped Poulsbo Marine Science Center.
An amendment to the center’s lease contract with the City of Poulsbo would reduce monthly rent payments, but would only come if the Marine Science Society of the Pacific Northwest agrees to create a long-term business plan.
POULSBO — Amid a cacophony of voices and opinions Wednesday night, at one point, a clap of thunder broke through, interrupting the proceedings for a moment.
INDIANOLA — After stepping around an issue that closed their beloved beach last summer, Indianola residents have decided to take matters into their own hands, or plastic bags as the case may be.
POULSBO — It was something the Orwig family could certainly add to their “what I did on my summer vacation” list.
Among the visitors to Poulsbo’s Marine Science Center July 12, the North Dakota family also got to see some other Northwest life.
HOOD CANAL BRIDGE — Regardless of whether they are coming from Jefferson or Kitsap County, the Hood Canal Bridge is a popular route with bicyclists.
If financial stability was a paddle, the Marine Science Center in Poulsbo would once again be up the creek without it.
POULSBO — It was not exactly the way the North Kitsap Babe Ruth 15-year-old All Stars expected to earn a state berth.
In the championship game, North Kitsap’s Kelly Wells took a large lead off third base and waited for the pitch from Sequim’s ace Wyatt Short at 5-5 in the sixth inning.
POULSBO — Nine years ago, Paul and Rhoda Layman lost their son, Zac, 15, to cancer. After the devastating blow from a disease that still has yet to be cured, the Laymans realized they had a decision to make.
POULSBO — It’s been almost two months since the Kitsap Lacrosse team emerged from the state tournament as champions of the B division at Seahawks Stadium. And the squad’s Monday night exhibition with the Royal School of Surrey, England was mainly just for fun and experience.
SUQUAMISH — Thunderstorms and much-needed rain may have drenched the peninsula Saturday, but they didn’t drown the spirits of a dedicated group gathered for an historic celebration that had been 150 years in the making.
POULSBO — It’s not a success, it’s a wake up call.
Or so say entities about the recent failure of Tim Eyman’s Initiative 864 to make the November ballot. Dubbed the “25 percent property tax” initiative, the effort would have cut property taxes, excluding voter-approved levies and property taxes for education, statewide by one-quarter.
POULSBO — Much like tending a field of corn or a row of beets, Poulsbo Farmers’ Market organizers have watched their idea grow and thrive over the last year.
KINGSTON — Heidi Kaster may have a degree in teaching, but her classroom is far from traditional. Instead of instructing youngsters the three Rs, she teaches herself in her own “school” — a 10-acre property on Hansville Road, where she and her husband Dave live and operate Dragonfly Farms Nursery.
HANSVILLE — Twelve years after an application was submitted to Kitsap County for a 205-acre planned unit development in Hansville, dirt may finally be pushed on the land within the next year.
LITTLE BOSTON — While the construction of the longhouse on the Port Gamble Indian Reservation is already impressive in its scope, hand-carved designs on the doors serving as the primary entry are equally magnificent.
