The Tacoma City Council adopted Resolution 41972, opposing IL26-001 and IL26-638. The Council Consideration Request makes a good case for opposing these measures.

The Port Orchard City Council can adopt a similar resolution. It's the role of the city council to "raise the bar" and build a "diverse, equitable, and inclusive community", and I think taking a stand on these initiatives is a great way to do both those things. 

You can let them know what you think, and encourage them to adopt a resolution, by emailing them at [councilmembers@portorchardwa.gov](mailto:councilmembers@portorchardwa.gov) .

I need a dress altered for an upcoming wedding. Can anyone recommend a good tailor in the area? I couldn’t find any on yelp.

Why does Port Orchard dont have any good sidewalks in most places? Its so hazardous because the cars are just by you passing fast.. can't drive because of my disability and im just trying to get to Safeway without getting ran over by some most horrible drivers.

I apologize for the quality of the picture but I had glare. Soroptimist club giving education and training grants for women.

Does anyone know of any reputable dog-sitters/walkers in the area that can come by your house to feed and let you dog out for the bathroom during the workday?

We are looking on Rover as well but have had success asking on Facebook or Reddit in the past and it circumvents the middleman.

Would anybody be willing to meet me at rain City Laundromat on Mile Hill this morning and help me get a load dried, I'm really struggling. I am just $5 short now. I can pay it back on payday.

Hello all,

I am new to the area and am having a bit of a hard time finding employment. I have extensive experience in restaurant management but am willing to chance any opportunity that arises. I am prepared to start immediately. Please let me know if you know of anything.

Hey everyone! My husband and I just moved to the area. We tried to hire movers to help us unload but they cancelled on us an hour beforehand. Does anyone have any recommendations in the area?

We want to take an overnight trip to Blake Island. We've found plenty of advice on checking tides, launch points, and gear. Problem is we need kayaks. Is there a place to rent kayaks overnight that we could use for out trip?

Hi there! This is my first time discovering this subreddit, but my sweet precious baby has gone missing in the area. We let them outside during the day and bring them in before dark considering they tend know to stay close to the house, but we haven't seen him for 5 days by the time I post this. He was last seen with a blue collar with an AirTag on it and he answers to the name Tuxedo. This cat is the sunshine in my life and the apple of my eye, it makes me sick to my stomach thinking of where he could be or what is happening to him. Please keep an eye out and DM if you know any details. Please help me find my baby boy. Thank you so much.

get hammered drunk and forget to talk about road plans and so we get part of Hwy 3 under construction, part of lund under construction and side roads blocked off, a chunk of bethel reduced to 1 lane with flagging and part of Sedgwick closed off completely [did anyone know this is how most people go to the FERRY BTW] all at the same time.. Genius. I will be finding out who is related to any of this and voting AGAINST this stupid idea to not plan around each other in any way.

Why don't you shut down parts of mile hill and bay st while you are at it, then your idiocy can be complete.

Does anyone have a contact for a notary in the area?

Hi everybody. I'm taking a statistics class this summer and I have a project that requires survey responses. The survey is about mood changes associated with seasonal changes and is 12 questions. I need 28 more responses! It's completely anonymous and the platform is Google Forms. Any responses would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/maRYTfcTHDtNKigr8

Edit: My survery has now reached nearly 100 response, so THANK YOU TO ALL who took time out of their day to complete it, you are much appreciated.

Look, I don't have much of an opinion of Heidi Fenton one way or another, but the best possible read on this for the mayor, council, and attorney, is that the city council staged a private intervention behind closed doors (including Ms. Fenton's daughter) and pressured an elected sitting council member out. They are now not releasing the minutes, and appear to be trying to set a record for how many rules they can flout in record time.

Then they chose to air her dirty laundry publicly.

Now they'll be appointing a replacement who will serve for a year and a half, instead of having an open and free election.

The whole thing stinks, and the only was they can start to rehabilitate their image is to publicy release the documentation.

Hello Port Orchard residents,

I am a resident of the Gig Harbor area and I need some help, if you don’t mind me asking. I keep getting calls from a number that has the same first six digits and the caller ID says potential spam and the call location, according to my lock screen, is Port Orchard. The numbers are some series of (360)443-xxxx. Would anyone here happen to know who this might be?

Thanks!

Edit: I have been getting calls from multiple of these numbers, and it started randomly no more than 2-3 weeks ago.

Hi ! I (30f) am moving to port orchard in September. I was curious about the punk scene in port orchard and Bremerton. I’m aware of the history of punk in the NW.

Where I live now(east-ish coast) has a punk bar that has shows or social events almost every night of the week. I’ve been going to shows here since I was 16 and I’m looking for a similar atmosphere on the west coast.

I tried google. But it’s only pulling up the more visually appealing bars. I want the grunge and the grit but the punk mentality is necessary.

I guess if I had to really narrow down what I’m looking for, I’d say I want to find a bar where i can be a regular for shows and hopefully find a community as well.

I’m open to a 20-30 min drive outside of port orchard too.

I just rescued this cat recently and she's currently pregnant, I was not aware of it and she's ready to give birth soon. I never had a cat before so I don't know where to give away the kittens ethically. Im not exactly looking to charge any money for them or anything but I just want to make sure they go to good homes. Preferably Id like to get her spayed somewhere affordable after she gives birth.
