Womens Self Defense Class

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.

Video game store

Not too long ago a friend opened their own video game store in Poulsbo. Unfortunately it’s in an area of lesser foot traffic. I told her I’d try advertising her in local Reddit groups to hopefully drum up some business. So if you or anyone you know is into retro video games, stop by Dreamquest games! Especially if you are into super older game systems like various Atari systems. Shop local and save time and gas money!

OMG, Pickleball Kingdom is coming to Poulsbo!

I’m so hyped—top shelf indoor courts coming here! I did NOT think Poulsbo would get our own Pickleball Kingdom! They’re building the courts now, and you can already grab a membership. Founding memberships come with cool perks like waived fees, free months, and VIP events, and as of yesterday they were still taking signups.

Memberships are apparently limited in 2025, so don’t wait too long if you’re thinking about it.

Check them out here: Pickleball Kingdom Poulsbo.

Let’s goooo! 🏓🔥

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be passing through Poulsbo in a few days and need to find a spot with free wifi where I can park myself for a few hours to work remotely. Do you all have any suggestions for places to go?

Thanks!

Running routes

Hi all, I’m looking for a nice scenic running route in the Poulsbo area. I am happy to drive a little bit if it’s worth it.

I wish that short piece of boardwalk in Poulsbo town/harbor was longer, that would be ideal.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Screaming/barking from passing car?

Hi there fellow Poulsbo folks. I have an odd question. Are any locals familiar with a person or people in a black SUV that scream (like shrill screaming) and bark at pedestrians? I've witnessed it 3-4 times now and I believe it's the same car each time, but am not certain. I never have seen the person's face. Has anyone else witnessed this?

Why did Norway put barcodes in their military ships?

So they could Scan-da-navy-in.

Happy Sunday 😁

Hotel with cafe/seating in lobby for 2 elderly brothers to meet?

We're arranging for my 86 year old uncle (with dementia) to come up from OR to meet my 93 year old dad (with leukemia) one last time. I'd like my uncle and family to stay at a hotel where it will be easy to meet and chat with my dad inside the hotel (to avoid bad weather, navigating with dementia, etc). Anyone know of a hotel near Poulsbo that has a cafe or a good place inside to sit comfortably and visit for a few hours? Thanks!

Labradoodle Birthday (Oct 13th)

Hello everyone,

Last year my wife and I bought a labradoodle puppy in Poulsbo. Her birthday was October 13th but we got her 8 weeks later. Her litter had 8 puppies in it, 6 which were black and 2 which were white/tan. The woman we talked to when we got her was named Georgette but I’ve had no luck when trying to contact her.

I just wanted to know if anyone else had a puppy from this same litter and if anyone wanted to get a group chat going or even meet up for their birthday.

All In the Family (Sluys)

Is this what makes the Bakery well known ? I would hope not !!

Dan Sluys (The Baker) - Molestation Victim was a family member:

https://archive.kitsapsun.com/news/code-911/poulsbo-man-charged-with-child-molestation-ep-417887970-356946071.html

His brother Albert Sluys - Molestation Victim was a Family member: (see the pattern?)

https://kpug1170.com/news/007700-former-whatcom-county-resident-arrested-charged-with-multiple-sex-crimes/ (Now in Prison)

Whether or not charges dropped (may be something to do with money and power, that is how charges normally get dropped - hiring the best attorney, etc.), does not mean Innocence.

Just lost my appetite for Bakery goods. Also, Sluys is Dutch (athough born in Bellingham, WA), NOT Norwegian. Definitely, NOT the pride of Poulsbo!!!

Guest Moorage?

We’re visiting Poulsbo by boat and were surprised that the guest moorage docks at the Port of Poulsbo are closed and that the phone seems to be disconnected. This is our first time here - are there other options for guest moorage? (I’ve looked online and am only finding permanent moorage options and no info on the Port situation.) Many thanks for any guidance - we’re anchored but would like to stay and visit this charming city!

Anyone know a good tailor?

I have a vintage military n3b parka that I would like to replace the ruff on. The original ruff is synthetic fur and is looking pretty ragged, so I'd rather replace with coyote or something else real.

Vendor at Poulsbo farmer’s market

I bought a ring at the Poulsbo farmer’s market in 2019 that meant a lot to me. The artist did a lot of work in silver and the ring was an adjustable ring with “Climb that goddamn mountain” stamped in it. I recently lost the ring and would like to get in touch with the artist to possibly buy another, but I don’t see her on the Poulsbo farmer’s market website anymore. I would be forever grateful if someone could connect us!!

Car Mechanic Recommendations

Driveway is a little too steep for my new VW Jetta. Had been planning on lifting it an inch or two and would prefer a local mechanic. I know some won't touch "Import" cars..if you can even consider a Jetta an import...but also have no idea where to start.

Spacers vs a full lift? I'm lost lol. Any mechanic recommendations in the area welcomed!
