POULSBO — A year ago, what was left of the Poulsbo Fire Department’s 1924 novelty fire truck was nothing but parts in a box, stored in a dark corner at the district’s Surfrest station on Falkner Road.
Now, in place of the box is a newly restored Model T chassis, which will make its debut in the Viking Fest Parade this Saturday.
KINGSTON — The man recently scrutinized by police for his adult Web site business activities may have given the final green light to the North Kitsap School District to build a new high school in Kingston.
VINLAND – Children and adults alike pulled on their sneakers last Saturday, stepping out at the Great Strides Walkathon at Vinland Elementary to raise money toward finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.
More than 30,000 Americans suffer from Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening disease which mainly affects the respiratory and digestive systems.
KINGSTON — The Kingston Parks, Trails and Open Space committee wants to find out who in the North End would be interested in making sure local parks stay as green and well-kept as they are now.
While the county often works with community groups in acquiring open space and, at the same time, tries to maintain its current parks, the KPTOS group is proposing a new tool that would ensure consistent funding for parks for the future.
POULSBO — “Clutch,” according to North Kitsap starting pitcher Jared Prince, “is when all the pressure’s on and you do something good.”
If there’s one skill that the North Kitsap baseball team does better than any other, it is just that — being clutch.
We’ve said it before and it looks like we’re going to be saying it again, Aqua Express’ service from Kingston to Seattle is a privilege — not a right.
POULSBO — Norma Hanson and the rest of her crew know that as winter turns to spring, Viking Fest is well on its way and it’s time to rekindle lessons learned long ago into tantalizing dishes with a traditional Norwegian flair.
KINGSTON — Pete DeBoer had a dynamite idea last winter, one that could help fund raising for this year’s Fourth of July event be less of a near-explosive disaster like in years past.
After struggling with money for Kingston’s July 4 fireworks last year, and finding that other community groups were having the same problem for their holiday activities, DeBoer decided cohesion was needed for the Little City by the Sea’s biggest annual production.
POULSBO — The prospect of founding a North Kitsap Regional Events center is one Poulsbo resident and Kitsap County Public Facilities District (PFD) vice-chair Linda Berry-Maraist views as both “a challenge and an opportunity.”
POULSBO — North Kitsap High School senior Jared Prince’s college journey to find a niche for his athletic abilities turned out to be quite the competition in itself.
Prince referred to his two choices of higher education — the University of Washington, which he once favored, and Washington State University — as “dead even,” following a recruiting trip to Pullman last weekend.
POULSBO — Second-hand and pawn store owners who felt they were being singled out by the Poulsbo Police Department last month are feeling something they didn’t anticipate so soon: relief.
In abrupt fashion in April, 22 businesses were informed that, starting May 10, pawn brokers and second-hand dealers would be required to report all transactions in excess of $20 from the previous week to the PPD.
This might just have been a poorly worded document or a poorly executed plan but the fact that it got hardworking, honest business owners’ dander up and raised serious concerns makes it worthy of review.
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — Despite the fact the North Kitsap girls’ golf team played what each of the team’s top players would call an “off-day” against Shelton earlier this week, in actuality, the match should bolster the squad’s confidence.
PEARSON — The buzz generated by teacher Scott Johnson’s Sawdust Club at Pearson Elementary School appears to be just as loud as the saws the students use to cut into the pine of their first-ever woodworking projects.
KINGSTON — No additional division or grading permits for White Horse will be approved by Kitsap County until the thicket of conditions for the housing/golf development’s regional trail are mapped out and established.
KINGSTON — Though it isn’t until Sunday, first and second graders in Wolfle Elementary teacher Stephanie Pugh’s class gave their moms a Mother’s Day present a few days early.
In what is the 12th year that the Wolfle teacher has put a similar event together, many mothers of students in the class came to school Thursday and were served and pampered for a change “… so the moms know how special they are,” Pugh said.
KINGSTON — The national pharmacy chain Rite Aid is the first and largest retail store expected to be constructed on the cleared lot at Miller Bay Road and State Route 104.
Kitsap County Department of Community Development received an application in January for the project and a revised application from Rite Aid in mid-April.
Mail carriers from the local offices of the United States Postal Service will be doing more than just delivering bills, packages and catalogs on their routes next weekend.
They’ll be picking up extra parcels to benefit those in need during its annual “Stamp Out Hunger” campaign May 14, but they can’t do that without the help of their customers.
POULSBO – They don’t do it often. So, when the blue vested Poulsbo Noon Lions hit the streets of Little Norway asking for money, residents can be assured it’s for an important cause.
POULSBO — There will be a big change taking place to the popular shopping district just off State Route 305 but no one is expected to notice a single difference.
Poulsbo Village Shopping Center owner Tim Ryan announced Monday that he is selling a portion of the retail venture to Western Williams of the Seattle-based Laurel Hurst Apartment Company. Tim Ryan Enterprises, which was created as a tool to manage the shopping center, will be dissolved.
