Landscaper recommendation needed

Does anyone have a recommendation for a trustworthy and affordable landscaper in the Poulsbo area? We need someone to do some light maintenance on a regular basis for my grandmother (leaf-blowing, tree trimming, weeding, etc.). Thank you in advance!

QuantumFiber - Reviews or thoughts? Are they new to PBO?

Just what the title says - anyone have any reviews as to service or any other useful info to share? Thinking of switching from iFiber.

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!

Rentals?

Hello,

Just putting my feelers out there because it's desperate times with the housing market!
I have an elderly disabled relative who is retired now, and has a good, steady, income. She has been having a heck of a time trying to find a nice place to rent (unfortunately her current place is going to be doing some renovations so she has to move.)

She's a kind lady, she loves to garden, and keeps a beautiful home, she is hoping to find a long term unit. But she can just NOT seem to find a rental in her price range. Anything under 1800 and has an extra space for her grandkids to visit is all she's looking for. Some of the barriers for her have been her small (I mean very small) dog who is also elderly. Seems a lot of places don't allow pets anymore. He's actually an amazingly good dog, he sleeps all day, and doesn't really bark.

Just curious if anyone has any good spots in Poulsbo or surrounding area that they'd recommend? Any nice apartment complexes you know of? Hidden gems? I'm deeply worried about her situation and hoping she can find a place soon so she isn't forced in to a place she can't afford, or out of the area in general.

(I bolded the main question if that helps.)

Thank you for reading this! It's appreciated, stay well and good everyone! :)
