Looking to move back to Kitsap county. I grew up in port orchard and it was not very walkable and definitely not bikeable.

I plan on having a car but want to limit it to just national parks and visiting family in port orchard/eastern Washington.

Any areas where I can do like 80% of my errands and commutes on bike or walking? Decent bike lane infrastructure and higher density? I see downtown Bremerton but I haven’t been there much to know. I like the close ferry access to Seattle. Would living a little away from the ferry still be pretty dense? Open to anything in Kitsap county and gig harbor

Thank you!

I'm a first-time parent in my third trimester and need to get a pediatrician lined up, but don't really know anyone with kids to get opinions on docs in the area. (Especially doctors that will do consultation appointments. I have questions lol.)

I'd prefer the office be in Port Orchard or Silverdale, but could deal with somewhere else for a good pediatrician. Thank you!

I saw a couple years ago someone said it was the worst experience but the website seems like it would be a cool time?

What is the best veterinarian in Kitsap? I was taking my dog to the VCA on Byron Street in Silverdale but they just made a royal mistake of telling me my dogs vaccines, that I came in for in October, were not done because they have no record of them and that I would have to come in again and pay AGAIN. The front desk lady was so profoundly arrogant and needs to work on her customer service. I loved this place but I feel like this is such a heinous mistake on their part.

Hi there! New to the area. My wife and I have been training Krav Maga for the last year and really love it. We were hoping to find a place in the northern Kitsap Area (ideally Bainbridge, Poulsbo or Kingston) where Krav Maga classes are offered? I did some searching online, and none of the martial arts places I found seem to offer it. Any help is appreciated.

Where are good places to go in the Bremerton, Silverdale, Poulsbo area to look at Christmas lights? I know about Big Valley and plan to visit there again this year. And I know about the ferry terminal at Kingston. But would like to drive around and look at lights. Thank you for suggestions

Very urgent! Does anyone know of anywhere that sells pork roll/taylor ham, or that does pork roll sandwiches? Thank you!

Edit: Found the real deal pork roll at Fred Meyer in Bremerton in case anyone is interested. Thanks y’all!

Hi there, looking for a church since I’m somewhat new to this area. Currently live in Bremerton, looking for a non-denominational Christian church. Would love something that is good for a younger couple. I know church shopping exists, but I really would prefer something a little more modern with a “fun” and good service. Will be my Gfs first time going!

Hi Kitsap friends- I know where most of the pickleball courts are located, but does anyone know where I can take pickleball lessons, in Kitsap County or Gig Harbor? Thanks!

Hello, we are newish here from the Midwest and my husband is craving sausage rolls but I am having a hard time finding them anywhere around here. Any recommendations?

It’s the holiday season! Join us on at Peninsula High School on December 14 at 3:00pm for great music, cookies, raffle, and a visit from Santa! Tickets are available online at www.peninsulacommunitychorus.com.

Idk if that’s the official word for us buttt I was hoping to get some information about some trails and whatnot I could run? During the day or at night and is safe.

Everybody is shopping and stressed this week - but remember to be nice to the folks at the grocery store. They get most of a solid week of Black Fridays.

Hey - anyone know any sports bars or restaurants that will definitely be showing Cal v Stanford Big Game tomorrow evening? Go bears!

I recently moved back to the area after 8 years elsewhere, and am wondering how folks out here are preparing for earthquakes. The Kitsap Dept. of Emergency Management states that we might be on our own for "a month or more" in the event of a major earthquake, and having been a Boy Scout some 20+ years ago I have been fighting the urge to drop a bunch of money on drinking water storage and dehydrated food, along with some gas for my chainsaw and cars. I'm already pretty well covered on the first aid front.

Do you all have a plan and supplies? If so, is there a way to store 60+ gallons of water (1 gallon per person per day for a month) and 120,000+ calories without breaking the bank?

Anyone on KPUD Fiber (iFiber ISP) lose their internet in this storm? We still have power but internet seems to be out. I don't see any alerts on the KPUD or iFiber pages.

Getting about 10 MPH at the moment. Is this storm just behind schedule or not what was forecasted?

Former Kitsap resident here who still visits almost every summer. I’ve always wondered about swimming in Seabeck — as in, from the marina to the other side of the bay. It looks short enough that I could jump in, swim there, swim back, and then get a coffee to warm up.

Has anyone else here ever gone swimming in Hood Canal, and if so, how did it go? I know even in summertime, our waters are chilly.

Hey, hoping to get a local business recommendation. Kids want to cut down our tree this year, they are specifically requesting a ucut farm that has hot coco, cider and candy canes. Fire pit going would be a plus, haha.

Thank you very much, I'm in wauna, willing to travel for the right tree farm that's fun for kids ! Thank you .

Where else can I go to get a slice of pie? Black bear diner and Snohomish pie company are quite a ways off and I’m looking for something more local to kitsap. Thanks!

Here's a link to this Sangha and the meetings they have.

My roomate needs the place to themselves for the night; which is fair enough, but I still need to get work done.

Starbucks closes at 9. Is there anyplace I can reasonably bring a laptop that stays open a little later?

I’ve got a few shop projects lined up, now that Kitsap Lumber is out of business I’m wondering where’s a good spot for price and selection of plywood and lumber in general?

We are buying a new build in Kitsap county and are looking for a third party inspector for a closing inspection. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I know that dead tree newspapers are having a hard time retaining customers and all, but this seems a little bit ridiculous? (Don't need to tell me I can block the numbers, I have now, since it's only the same 3 being used) -- just was curious if anyone else is getting this sort of harassing behavior?

If I ever were to consider subscribing to the paper this isn't the way to get me lol. Also, they never leave a single VM. Just rude, how would i be to reply back anyway if they never leave a message?

Anyway - just venting and again curious if anyone else is getting this nonsense?

Kitsap Sun newspaper calling relentlessly 2x a day, I can only presume to sell a sub, but they never leave a VM.

Looking for a vet where it doesn’t take weeks to be seen. Called around this past spring it was a month to see anyone unless I wanted to pay an urgent appointment fee. I live in silverdale, I’m willing to travel 20 mins for the right place.
