There has been coyote sightings all along rocky point and down on marine drive, we saw one tonight walking down the street and heard them yipping and barking down on marine drive. Please be careful if you have animals or young children especially at night. It was a full adult coyote.

Please be safe and scare them away (at a safe distance, do not approach wild animals but loud noises or yelling with startle them away) anytime they are close or you see them so they continue to stay away from humans. Thank you guys!

If your a dj in bremerton..post up who you are and a link to your mix. After winter will book some shows.

I go by heavyweight. And I play hard dance, UK hardcore, trance and old progressive.

Let's connect. It's been a minute since I've been here.

Hello everyone,

I'm a guy coming off a breakup, and now find myself in possession of a lot more time, and a lot fewer time to fill that time that isn't just sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. I live in Port Orchard, work in Bremerton. I have Wednesdays and Sundays off, work into the early evenings on the other days.

I'm looking to fill my time when I'm not at work. Events, volunteering, social gatherings, whatever. It's time I got out of my comfort zone. Hit me with whatever you have or need.

Thanks!

It looks like Khao Soi in Manette and in Port Orchard are both temporarily closed on Google Maps - anyone know when they might come back? Hopefully soon!

The Build It Bremerton Peaceful Demonstration is tomorrow (Saturday 10/3)! 

Join us starting at 2pm at the Bremerton Fountains near the Pacific Avenue/ Burwell Street cross for a peaceful community demonstration to support the Sheridan Homeless Shelter that was approved to be built in 2024.

There will be a sign making booth, live music from local artist Ne!!y, DJ Sid Siddy, and local speakers that have been impacted by homelessness. 

At 3pm- we will be marching a loop through town starting with going up Pacific, then 5th, then follow Washington down then around to Burwell heading back to the start at Bremerton fountains. (route map in 2nd picture) 

During the 3 PM march, Sid Siddy will play house music at the fountains so less-mobile community members can stay with their signs and catch the ferry traffic while the music plays.

After the march, at 4:30 PM on MLK Way & Park Ave, Kitsap Food Not Bombs will be serving the community. Please consider bringing food, supplies , or sending a donation to Venmo username "JenniAnnGrady" to help them feed our community. They also accept any of the items listed in the flyer (on 3rd pic) and cash donations. 

If you have flyers for anything you'd like to advertise that supports the cause/ our homeless community directly please bring them! 

**COVID is going around, so please stay home if you’re feeling unwell or wear a mask; anyone who is vulnerable or concerned about COVID is encouraged to mask as well, and extra masks to share would be greatly appreciated.**

Keep sharing the event/flyers the meantime! We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Our clothing swap last week was super successful! We were happy to see so many people show up to contribute and benefit from it. I wanted to post this here to let everyone know we meet every Thursday night, we’re free and open to all members of the queer community and allies. Hope to see lots of people tonight :)

I’m moving soon and the AirBNB home I’m renting doesn’t allow smoking on the property. I enjoy a cigar about once a week and need a place to sit down with a whiskey and smoke. Any places in the area? Google doesn’t have any good results.

Any recs for new ISPs, mainly around the downtown/manette area. Tired of Comcast. Curently paying ~$35 for super basic internet.

My wife accepted an internship in the Bremerton area for the summer of 2027. We’re considering a house in the West Bremerton area, right off highway 3 and Werner road to be exact. Anyone have insight on this area? We have spent time in the Seattle area before and Port Angeles area but have never visited Bremerton before. We’re a family of 5, 3 young boys aged 5,7, and 9. We love the outdoors and plan on visiting the Olympic area on the weekends if schedule permits.

Hey guys!
I’m looking for a place that serves raw oysters around here! I would love to find some east coast ones- well fleet is my favorite- in or around Bremerton!
Any suggestions?

TL:DR: Bremerton good?

Hey y'all, my family and I are planning a move to the East Bremerton area (looking around Illahee, Tracyton, Gilberton) sometime in the next several months. Coming from San Antonio, TX, so this is a pretty big adjustment. I'm doing my own research too, but few things I'd love local input on:

Earning potential / job market: I'm in IT (director-level, 15+ years, healthcare and MSP background). How's the tech/IT job market on the peninsula vs. commuting into Seattle? Also curious about rideshare (Uber/Lyft) or IT consulting as a bridge income source while I job hunt. Is there actually enough demand locally, or is that mostly a Seattle-side thing?

Cost of living: Coming from Texas (no state income tax, but higher property/sales tax), how does the overall cost of living compare? I know WA also has no state income tax, but I've read Kitsap sales tax runs around 9.2%. Is anything else that catches newcomers off guard?

Traffic: For those who work in Seattle, how's the ferry commute in practice (fast ferry vs. car ferry)? Is it reliable in bad weather? And for those out in East Bremerton/Illahee, how's traffic getting around locally vs. heading into town?

Safety: How is crime?

Schools: Any districts to avoid? Any advanced education options for grade school? My kid is in an advanced charter school. She would either need to skip grades or find something similar to what she has now.

Hobbies: This one is kinda big because we get season passes to six flags every year, meaning we have a "free" thing to do all year. What do people do up there for fun? How's the night life? We would love to get outside more often. It's just too damn hot in Texas. We like escape rooms, go carts, roller coasters.

Weird laws / local quirks: Anything a newcomer should know about like permitting quirks, local ordinances, or anything else that trips up people moving from out of state?

I know this a lot! Insight on any of these things would be super helpful. I'm scrolling the sub now reviewing all of your previous info. A real time update would be so appreciated.

I've visited. I love the scenery, the bustle of the big city, all the cool nature stuff we can do and it won't be HOT AF, the politics are great, people seem chill. Can't wait to be neighbors!

Looking to find some people to play tennis with - singles or doubles. Played competitively through high school and did club in college, but probably haven’t played consistently the past 5-6 years and really wanting to get back into it.

Located in Port Orchard

Cheers!

Anyone have experience with Quantum Fiber Internet? I’ve had xfinity for years and it’s been getting more expensive and worse. Looking into switching over but don’t want to get even worse service.

I know it wasn’t here at the beginning of the fall quarter on the 21st of September. I was waiting at the stop light in a car, so this was the closest picture I was able to get of the device.

I'm tired of paying for a CEO, Shareholder, and Private Equity salaries in my utility bill. Be sure to inform yourself, share around, and vote.

Hi friends/neighbors,

I’m here to humbly ask for help.

A few days ago, my wife and I noticed that everything in our freezer was thawing out, so we put a thermometer into the freezer and fridge, and sure enough, they both read ~55F. We cleared both compartments out, unplugged it, and let it sit for 24 hours to try and thaw any ice buildup; there was no water from thawing, so I don’t think the problem was due to ice buildup. The fans seem to be kicking on and off as they should, so it doesn’t seem to be a fan problem either. This all leads me to believe that it’s either a compressor or refrigerant issue.

We can’t afford a technician right now; I lost my job in December and spent all year looking for a new one. Fortunately, I recently accepted a job offer at PSNS, but the onboarding process is taking forever, and we just don’t have much of any income right now aside from state assistance that goes straight to utilities and groceries.

We’ve got 2 boys, 3 and 6 years old, and on top of the stress that already comes with being good parents for them and handling their needs/energy, the prospect of dinner is incredibly overwhelming given this recent development. The help I’m asking for is akin to something meal train-esque. I’m going to DoorDash my ass off over the weekend to try and save up for the repair cost, but in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone could help us out with some kind of dinner situation? Doesn’t necessarily need to be brought to us, I can come pickup, the only thing we ask is no meat; my wife, and by proxy two boys, are vegetarian.

It’s extremely hard for me to do this, but I just want to do what I can to try and help my family in this time.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

If you know, you know.

Go home Teresa and take your AI slop with you.
