19th street bremerton houses for rent

Dude who rents them out is a real shit bag . He will show up completely un-invited and start killing birds around the house at 8pm. Yeah... He will throw a massive man child fit if you do not let him and his two monster children into your house at 9pm while your wife and kids are asleep so he can work on something loudly for 2 hours .. There is drug house across the street that has police at it constantly. In the summer time they like to come onto this property and look through the windows and steal stuff outta your cars .folks are always letting their dogs shit in the yard since there's no fence oh and any trash blowing around the street ends up on this property somehow . The tree in front is dying and falling apart but landlord won't do anything as he deems it to expensive. Every windstorm a branch falls off, I've replaced 2 car windows due to it regardless landlord will still make you park under it and try fining you if you don't. Right behind the property is a convicted pedofile who was incarcerated in 3 states for breaking into homes and what not .. So if you have kids and are thinking of moving in this area keep that in mind as I know labd owner will not say a word to you about it . Also if you have a dog or cat he sprays poison around the property regularly and will not say a word to anyone until your animal starts having convulsions from eating the grass outside .. Landlord name is Brtt. He's a shit bird and I PROMISE you do not want to live here. there are far better places. With far better landlords. Unless you hate privacy enjoy loud gangsta music at 3 am like letting the neighbors take this from your car whenever they want it, if you can't stand your car windows you really like the land lord standing in your bathroom window unexpectedly while your taking a shower this place is for you !

Why are there so many “Puppies” signs everywhere that look like it’s a lure into human trafficking?

The signs look so ghetto and sketchy, yet they’re posted all over Kitsap and even down in Tacoma. They make the highways look trashy.

How can there be so many posted up everywhere? What’s the deal with them?

Firewood providers

We just moved to Port Orchard and are going to need firewood. Two questions:

  1. Any providers you recommend that can deliver by the cord for late summer, fall delivery?
  2. Any local source of compressed logs by the pallet so we can limp along until July 5th?

Many thanks!

Books on the history of Kitsap County?

I’m interested in activism in Kitsap County and to do that effectively I need to better understand the county’s historical context.

Please let me know if you have recommended political literature on Kitsap or the surrounding area. Thanks

Who is the Dog wearing Goggles named Bear in a Truck??

I saw a dog on the highway that pulled off into port orchard. The dog had those goggles on and had it's head hanging out the window. There was a sticker on the truck for the dog's instagram but I couldn't get close enough to read it.

Does anyone know this dog?! His name was Bear, I could see that much.

Recommendations for local flooring companies

I stumbled upon a thread in a similar vein regarding electricians and I thought the community might have some input on flooring companies (Sunset Electric is the way to go BTW).

Anyhow, we're looking to replace our carpet and tile with hardwood and cork — need everything from demolition to installation. Would love to hear about any positive/negative experiences or recommendations you all might have. I appreciate the input 🙌

What’s up with the school levy/bond failures?

New resident to Kitsap area (lifelong Washingtonian). Is it just me, or do school funding measures keep failing in the bigger districts? Is there a reason this feels like a trend?

Kingston to Edmunds ferry on a weekend

Hey everyone - I live in PO and have an event in Everett on Sunday afternoon at 3 pm. A quick look at Google tells me this is nearly a 2 hour drive. Is there any point in looking in to the Kingston to Edmunds ferry? On the surface it seems like it could be a quicker and less stressful way to get over there, but then there are the notorious 3-hour waits for the ferry I've heard about too.

Any advice? I rarely go north of Seattle so I really have no experience to draw from.

Moving soon how are the schools?

I and my son (middle school aged) are moving to the area soon and I'm doing the apartment scouting dance. Zillow has schools listed on a 1 - 10 rating scale but I know those don't tell the whole story so looking for guidance on which schools, middle school and high schools, would you recommend? Which to stay away from? Thinking likely the Bremerton/Poulsbo/Kingston area. Thanks!

Recommendations for local home builders, general contractors, architects, land/site prep, etc.?

My husband and I are considering building a home with how awful the buying market's been, but we're having an equally awful time finding any local businesses beyond the few big box brands that I've heard bad things of...

So, I'm looking for local recommendations. I just want to get a realistic idea of what these things cost, land/site prep, build $/sq. ft. etc. to see if this is even possible for us, or if we should bark up a different tree.

We don't have land yet, but have a few lots we're interested in, looking to build a space-efficient 3+bd/2+ba w/ garage house in Poulsbo/Kingston area.

Any general contractors you've worked with and love? Or land excavators, builders, architects, etc.?

Thanks!

Kingston tabletop gaming friends

Hey, I recently moved to Kingston and I'm looking for anyone that's interested in playing board games and card games.

I have a young kid so it's harder for me to travel down to Silverdale or Bremerton for their weekly game meet ups.

There is a group that plays Magic the Gathering on Sundays down on Banbrisge Island and I'll probably check that out before long but hoping to find a local friend to gaem with.

Games I've got that would be fun to play:

Sorcery Contested Realm, MTG, Netrunner, Arkham Horror, Keyforge, Gloomhaven, Nemesis, ISS Vanguard, Talisman, Wingspan, Everdell, Lots more

If you live on Kingston or wouldn't mind meeting in Kingston to play games regularly, feel free to give me a DM!

Thanks!

Visiting from the Southwest

Hi all…..looking to visit with my partner in mid-July. Wanting a nice base in which we can explore for a week. We are leaning towards: Poulsbo, Bremerton or Port Orchard area. We want to kayak, take beach walks, visit Seattle, Vashon island, explore, and perhaps even go to Sequim for the lavender festival. We will have a car but hoping to take the ferry places…and maybe a scenic drive or two. Any highlights these desert dwellers might like? We are fit enough for hiking, kayak in and bicycling. Doing a lot of research and it all sounds so amazing…hard to choose a location. Thanks in advance!

Explosions at the Sinclair Apartments in Port Orchard last night

Starting approximately 6pm going until about 11pm last night multiple loud explosions were seen, felt and heard by residents at the Sinclair Apartments in Port Orchard. There were roughly 6 explosions, some were consecutive. The explosions were loud enough to cause mild shaking in the apartment buildings.

Do you have any information you'd like to share about these events, or any updates?

Golf?

I've been in Bremerton for a few months now and I love to golf, the issue is I have nobody to play with. I'm not very good, but I can keep pace. Looking for some people to play with. I'm 36, married with a little boy. Other hobbies are video games, board games, and WWE. I'm off every Sun/Mon and always up for a round!

Local furniture makers?

Does anyone know if there are local woodworkers or general furniture makers in Kitsap or nearby? I'm moving to Kingston soon and will need to buy new furniture for my home. I'd ideally like to get solid wood furniture that lasts a long time.
