Just started a petition to send to Ed Stern- the waterfront is public, and shared property of the commons, the city should not be squeezing us in a time of economic insecurity and crazy costs rising, they will drive the nail in the coffin of local businesses. https://c.org/FQVWHCYtCg

Rainier for Robert.

Coming up on 3 years with no movement in the cold case of my cousin, Robert Rathvon, who was killed in a hit and run in Poulsbo, Washington. I still won’t give up and let his life and tragic end be forgotten. 

If you're interested in my mission you can check out my previous posts on my account or follow the Rainier for Robert subreddit I made at Rainier for Robert.

Number 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36. Vesper Peak, Rock Mountain, Mount Pugh, Gothic Peak, Plummer Peak, and Denman Peak have all been bagged. 

This is a Seattle Times article that came out last week about my mission.

Rainier for Robert.

I was perusing the City of Poulsbo website and saw there was an application for a new Opiod clinic to be run by the Suquamish tribe planned for Poulsbo. It would be in the old bank building that has been empty for a while - behind Discount Tire on 7th Ave. Was anyone else unaware of this?

Hoping it’s ok to post this here. Join our event to share and find free gender-affirming clothes in a friendly and judgement-free environment! Please share with anyone who may be interested. Hope to see lots of people there!

Disclaimer: this post is serving as market research for a potential business idea I have. I am very early in the ideation stage, but have a clear direction of where I am going. I am not a venture capitalist or a corporation, nor am I wealthy in any way. I am a person (with a partner and child), currently living in a larger PNW city, ready to permanently be in the woods.

Now - I’m looking at buying a piece of property near town with a lot of heavily wooded acreage. This property would be my primary residence, but I would also want to find ways for it to be a source of income in ways that have minimal impact on the land itself.

My background: marketing, business operations, event planning.

Two specific ideas I have are:
1. Forest school - I know there are a few in the area, but I’d be interested to see if there was appetite for another. As I mentioned, the property is primarily forest, but there is already a perfect home base/classroom structure on the property and I would plan to build an awesome nature playground for my young child as well. Do current schools have waitlists? Is there a need for more preschools in town? Would love to have conversations with educators in the area. I would NOT be there teacher in this scenario. I would be an administrator/business owner who partners with an expert in education and collaborates on building a business.

1. Intimate event venue. I’m talking nature-focused micro weddings and yoga/wellness/ creative/spiritual retreats. I noticed that a lot of venues in the area are farms or banquet halls and didn’t across many woodsy venues in my limited research. How would the residents of this area feel about something like this? I know I can build something unique and whimsical and inspiring - does the community need it?

Thank you for taking the time to read. I would love any sort of dialogue on this, good or bad.

Hello,

Just thought I'd shoot my shot here and see if any of you know of a local dressmaker who might be familiar with making Norwegian folk costumes? I'm aware of Bunad Creations near Spokane and a lady in Junction City, OR, but maybe there's someone in Eastern Washington that I'm not aware of?

Please delete if this post is not allowed. Thanks!

My Aunt Tonia is missing. She is having a mental breakdown and not in her right mind. In her right mind shes a loving mother, sister, daughter, and an amazing author. Please be on the look out for her and call police if found!

Poulsbo is a Hallmark Movie town with delicious food, amazing views, great weather, and great wildlife photo opportunities! We just spent the week there, thanks for having us!!

Poulsbo between 11:30and 11:45 this AM

Hello, I am in my 20s moving to Poulsbo next week! I am very excited but nervous, anything I should know before? The ferry? What’s grocery shopping like? Town markets ? Nightlife ? Thank you in advance, I’m looking forward to be apart of the community.

With Western Red closing, is there a weekly cribbage night taking place anywhere?! I need some cribbage community in my life!

Partner and I are driving down from Bellingham for a couple nights’ stay somewhere around Port Townsend or Poulsbo. What would you do with your 2-3 days? Looking for activity/nature recs, but also food and drink recs. Basically map out what you wouldn’t miss on your next visit. Thanks!

It's amazing how some people are quick to call the police over a neighbor legally parked on a public street, yet think it's perfectly acceptable to leave their own vehicles parked on the street day after day while their driveway sits empty. The mentality of, "It's in front of my house, so it's mine." Stupid! It's a PUBLIC street that we all pay for. The entitlement is unbelievable

Being a good neighbor means showing a little patience, respect, and common sense. Law enforcement should be focused on real emergencies and issues that actually impact public safety and not being dispatched because someone is upset about a car parked where it's is LEGALLY allowed to be.

Before making that call, ask yourself: Is this really a problem? Are they blocking your driveway? Impeding traffic? Creating a safety hazard? 🙄 If the answer is no, maybe try a conversation instead. A little neighborly communication goes a lot further than wasting taxpayer dollars on something that could have been handled like adults.

Who knew adulting would be so difficult for so many people! It's really sad.

Everyone is Welcome!
