POULSBO — The lead changes in the hardwood battle between the North Kitsap and South Kitsap boys basketball teams was reminiscent of Washington’s tightly contested and often-disputed governor’s race.
POULSBO — Below is a schedule of changes and closures expected across North Kitsap around the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Closures are on Jan. 17 unless otherwise noted….
KEYPORT — The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born more than 75 years ago.
He organized the Montgomery bus boycott 50 years ago.
And he died nearly 40 years ago.
POULSBO — On the gridiron this past fall, it was the Cavs who were victorious against their arch-rivals Poulsbo in a 36-30 come-from-behind win.
But on the hardwood, it was Poulsbo that had Kingston’s number, utilizing a little late game comeback of their own to beat Kingston for the second time this season.
POULSBO — The Liberty Bay Trail may soon be getting some finishing touches that were requested more than six months ago.
And there appears to already be money in the bank to fund them.
PORT GAMBLE — The old sawmill property may come to life once again if the Washington State Department of Transportation deems it so.
Poulsbo’s Olympic Property Group, which owns the sawmill site and Port Gamble, is the latest company to show an interest in letting its property become a graving dock for the Hood Canal Bridge reconstruction project.
BREIDABLIK — If you write it, they will come.
After five years of asking, physical education teacher Bob Webb’s letters to the Seattle Mariners baseball organization were finally answered. And the team’s response this year turned out to be a dream come true for young M’s fans who attend Breidablik Elementary.
OLYMPIA — A protest of Governor-elect Christine Gregoire’s victory Jan. 11 in Olympia included a bus-full of North Kitsap residents, each of whom believe a re-vote of the closest gubernatorial election in state history is necessary to determine the rightful winner.
KINGSTON — For the first time, the passengers stepping on to the foot ferry that was docked in Kingston Thursday morning weren’t there for a demonstration run to Seattle.
Most of them were commuters, going to work in the big city, just like they would if they were taking the Bainbridge Island ferry.
It’s taken about a decade for Port Gamble to get back on its feet. The closure of the long-running mill there left an unhealed scar on the waterfront and the economic future of the community in limbo. Environmental clean-up has been a long, consuming and continuing process.
POULSBO — Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry Bergeson’s trip to North Kitsap High School Friday included visits to some of the district’s most unique programs, including Polaris International School and the NKHS Visual Communications class.
KINGSTON — Before officially starting its Kingston-to-Seattle passenger-only ferry service next week, Aqua Express is reaching out to the community to learn what it can do to provide the best possible service for its riders.
The private ferry company will be hosting free “listening runs” Jan. 13 and Jan 14 and will be using the foot ferry’s new schedule. There will also be free food from the boat’s food and beverage service.
POULSBO — They’re illegal.
But many Americans still choose to participate in foreign lotteries — though most end up getting burned.
KINGSTON — If Kitsap County wants to create a commercial development boundary around George’s Corner, it’s apparently in for a fight.
Shortly after the Kitsap County Commissioners’ approved the boundary last October, two land-planning watchdog groups filed an appeal of the decision to the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board.
Aqua Express isn’t wasting any time in getting to know the community. Given the passenger only ferry’s sink or swim future in Kingston though, this was pretty much expected.
PORT GAMBLE — The Spa at Port Gamble owner Carol Etherington has found that some believe the historic town is still a quiet area with little to offer since the sawmill shut down in 1995.
POULSBO — By all accounts, the Poulsbo Farmers’ Market harvested success in its inaugural season.
But instead of resting on its laurels, the Washington State non-profit is already planting the seeds to offer more in its second season, which begins in May.

Luckily, they have just the vaccine to cure it.
