Bulk Produce?

Looking for a place that sells fruits and veggies by the flat/large bag. All I’ve come across is Belfair Fruit, but have seen conflicting reviews that it’s actually not that much cheaper than a Winco. Any ideas on where to go? Willing to travel outside of Kitsap for the right bulk discount.

Is there anyone publishing a list of right wing nutjob business owners?

I have new construction going on and I wish for not one penny of my hard earned money going to trump supporters. Is anyone keeping track?

Women's Self Defense Class - Poulsbo Parks and Rec Center

Hello!

I teach a women's self defense class once a week, Tuesdays at 715pm. It's $10/month (it was free, but the Rec Center gave us nice floors and a sweet space and the $10 they charge covers that and our insurance - I don't get paid except in occasional salsa donations).

Well it's the start of the year, and time for my annual "spread the word" campaign . I have 18 spots in the class, about half of which are full of regulars that have been with me for a while (some of these ladies have gotten REAL scary). If you or a lady you know wants to learn how to defend themselves and/or kill men with their hands, look us up!

It's not enough exercise class - we don't run laps or work out. Having said that, you will be very tired at the end of each class. It's practical application and learning, and a great community. Ages 16 - 60 (younger requires parental permission, older requires a meeting with me). No physical prerequisites aside from basic mobility.

Link attached, and thanks for checking us out.

Best moderate hike w Mountain View’s in / around Kitsap?

I’ve done many hikes around here. Many mostly just through the dense forests which is nice, but w the recent clear weather and snowy mountain tops it be nice to get a great view of the Olympics!I feel like green mountain via gold creek trail is one of the best &closest ones I can remember.

Thank you Tree Cutting Guy in Silverdale

Big thank you to the tree cutting guy who popped out of his truck in the Silverdale Safeway parking lot while some guy was walking up to my window and I wasn’t paying attention to anything but my phone (with my doors unlocked). I owe you, and if you see this I really appreciate it.

Leaving Bike at Bremerton Ferry Terminal?

Hey everyone,

I’ve got to make a run into Seattle tomorrow, do you think my bike would be ok if I left it chained up at the ferry terminal in Bremerton all day? I’ve got a pretty hefty bike chain and lock, but we all know that doesn’t really mean a lot. Thanks!

Piano/keyboard lesson recommendations?

I'm looking for individual piano or keyboard lessons for an adult beginner. I live in Port Orchard so ideally someone close-ish. I googled but there are so many options, I'm hoping some of you have personal recommendations to help me narrow it down. Thanks!

PCP Availability/Wait Times in Kitsap Vs Nearby Counties

I recently turned 65 and am arranging a transition from Medical Advantage with Kaiser (MA) to Original Medicare (OM) with Medigap (MG). Since Kaiser won't accept me after the transition, I want to make an appointment with a doctor who accepts OM.

I've heard from others that PCPs on the Kitsap peninsula have particularly long wait times to see new patients. I'm posting here to get information as to whether the wait times are any better in nearby counties, such as Pierce, Thurston, and South King etc.

I live (rent) fairly far north on the peninsula, so if access to doctors, whether PCPs or specialists is significantly better in Tacoma and environs than near Pousbo/Silverdale, I would seriously consider moving. One factor here is that a fatigue condition makes the drive from my location to Tacoma onerous. Hence the need for me to live reasonably close to my providers.

Fishing pole repair

I have an old fishing pole that was my grandpa’s I would love to be able to use, but one of the spots it goes together at doesn’t fit right anymore. Does anyone know of a place or person who does repairs?

Hair salon

My wife, who’s African American, moved to Bremerton after we got married a couple years ago and has struggled to find someone in the area to do her hair. It’s kind of a pain to keep driving to Tacoma and Kent where she’s lived before and knows where to go. Is there anyone or any salons in the area that do black womens hair?

Advice: Moving to the area

My partner and I are planning to move to the area. Before the move later this year, we’re heading to the Silverdale/Bremerton/Poulsbo area to explore neighborhoods and get a feel for the vibes. I’m hoping to gather two things from the awesome r/Kitsap community:

  1. Best neighborhoods/complexes: Based on the information we’ve gathered from Reddit, we’re currently looking at the Manette and Poulsbo areas. Ideally, we’re hoping to find a place where we can go outside, walk around to grab coffee or breakfast, and feel safe. What complexes are recommended? Are there any other neighborhoods we should check out while we’re there?
  2. Questions: How is public transportation in the Kitsap area? What’s the LGBTQ+ scene like? Do you have any recommendations for places to eat, things to do, or must-see spots while we’re visiting?

Thanks in advance, everyone!

How's city water in downtown PO?

Hey y'all. I just bought a home by the PO waterfront and my water smells/tastes awful. I am on city water. I've had three plumbers out and all of them say my water seems normal. One of them flushed my tankless and it didn't solve the issue.

Is it normal for the city water here to have a slightly sulfuric/metallic odor?

Headlights…Tail lights, what lights

Is it just me or is there a severe lack in basic car maintenance and understanding. The amount of folks who drive around with their high beams on because of a burnt out headlamp, or have brake lights but no tail running lights. Or drive around at night with no headlights at all. It’s staggering to me.

Do the police not hand out repair and report fines/tickets here?

I also can’t stand everyone seems to want to own silver or grey cars here and then don’t turn their lights on in inclement weather. I can’t see you, you disappear into the fog/rain.

That’s it, rant over. Thanks for stopping by.

Apple Health and Coordinated Care Recommendations for primary care and psychiatry

Howdy - I'm temporarily on Washington's Apple Health and using Coordinated Care while I navigate some tough life circumstances. In the mean time I need to find a good psychiatrist that works with those plans the list on the coordinated care site is long. Was hoping to narrow it down based on feedback. 🙏

McCormick subdivision in Port Orchard

Hi -- does anyone have any experience with McCormick 'village' in Port Orchard, or any other subdivisions built by Lennar? The photos look great and the prices look good for western Washington, but I know the devil's in the details.
