POULSBO — Just two years after being added to the city’s park system, Poulsbo’s Fish Park now appears to have a direction for future development.
Which got two fins up from a group of stakeholders last week.
POULSBO — Bellingham native Jessica Bergsma Rockenbach, 21, was born — quite literally — into the art world.
In the midst of her mother Jody’s nationwide art tour, Rockenbach’s life began on the road, tracing her initial love of art back to her days traveling to galleries around the country.
POULSBO — As American Lance Armstrong was racing into the history books with a record-breaking sixth Tour de France title, an Englishman was making some personal history of his own on two wheels, here in the United States.
Simon Plummer, 29, of Poole, England, decided to come and visit his aunt and uncle, Poulsbo residents Steve and Ruth Urand. After a flight over the Atlantic to Yorktown, Va., he assembled his Scott-USA model bike, strapped on a helmet and began to pedal his way to Poulsbo.
POULSBO — Logging of the proposed high school site in Kingston could begin as early as Aug. 9, a date which would not only give the district to get seven weeks of site development in this year but breathing room on its time line to open the school by 2006 as well.
Will “close” cut it at the North Kitsap School District’s proposed site for the new Kingston High School? After months of intense study at the site, maybe it should. But it seems like every time NKSD takes one step forward on this one, a few vocal neighbors give it a solid push two steps back.
KINGSTON — It depends on what one’s definition of “safe” is.
While Environmental Protection Agency officials say that while they’ve found no reason to continue investigating Kingston’s decommissioned Nike missile site, they also can’t comment on if the site is acceptable — or safe — for a high school.
POULSBO — Two heads — the old saying goes — are generally better than one.
Organizers of the West Side Hoops select basketball association are hoping that a combined effort of both girls’ and boys’ select squads will improve the competitive quality of youth basketball in North Kitsap.
The candidate filing period for the November 2004 election runs through July 30.
Kitsap County is already preparing for the Sept. 14 primary election, designing a new ballot and embarking upon a voter education project about what has become an unprecedented political event in Washington. For the first time, primary voters must declare a political party in order to select candidates for that party’s nomination.Kitsap County is already preparing for the Sept. 14 primary election, designing a new ballot and embarking upon a voter education project about what has become an unprecedented political event in Washington.

LITTLE BOSTON — The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe welcomed representatives of nearly a dozen Native American nations to its shores at Point Julia last weekend as part of this year’s annual canoe expedition, “Journey with our Ancestors.”
POULSBO — “It’s like monster school in here!” shouted an employee of Belfair-based construction firm Beisley, Inc., over the sounds of electrical saws and other pieces of machinery.
Kitsap County Auditor Karen Flynn is right. Washington voters aren’t likely going to be happy about having to declare their party of preference and cast in favor of only Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or non-partisan candidates in the primary.
KINGSTON — When new resident Fern Larsen first strolled into the Kingston Super Seniors lounge in the basement of the Kingston Community Center late last year, she was utterly disgusted.
POULSBO — It’s a feat that has happened only once in the last 26 years. Or, for North Kitsap Little League’s true historians — only twice in the last 52 years.
POULSBO — Quicker than expected, the Wonderland Retreat has been OKed for an Old Town Poulsbo neighborhood.
And at least one council member urged letting bygones be bygones on this matter.
POULSBO — Every day moments fascinate 22-year-old Northwest College of Art Senior Malia Macheel.
Macheel deeply examines commonplace human movements, from the motion an arm makes while walking to the varying expressions displayed on people’s faces.
KINGSTON — Drivers who frequent the Miller Bay Road and State Route 104 intersection may have noticed traffic is heavier than usual lately — something that has provided travelers a chance to check out the addition of yellow tape and orange barrels that line the two roads.
POULSBO — No cuts this year, but a repeat of a repeat.
That’s the priority set by the Poulsbo City Council as it kicked off the 2005 budget cycle this week.
A Spokane man led law enforcement officials on a hot and wild pursuit through two counties earlier this week.
POULSBO — The American Cancer Society’s North Kitsap Relay for Life event has grown each year of its existence, surpassing fund-raising goals on an annual basis.
But this year, the event not only surpassed its financial goal — it achieved an entirely new fund-raising echelon.
