Wall Street will save you.

Bummer. I never had one of these bikes, but always wanted one. Hard to manufacture something completely different and very expensive. sgbonline.com/titanium-bik...

This is my friend, a respected elder in Bremerton bike and advocacy circles, a kind and gentle man with a fierce persistence. He’s taught me much. I don’t know anything about how he got hurt, even if a car was involved, other than he was riding a bicycle on a very dangerous street.

The new WA State traffic fatalities data is out from WA Traffic Safety Commission. It's a little better than last year. Total traffic fatalities are down from pandemic highs, but are still much higher than before COVID. wtsc.wa.gov/dashboards/

Incumbent Democratic US Rep @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social (WA-6, Bremerton) faces 4 opponents from 4 different political parties. Independent, Republican, No Preference, and 'Trump Republican'. Top two advance. Randall won by 14% in 2026, @cookpolitical.com rates the district Solid Democratic.

A car hit the a brick Post Office sign with tremendous force. Large blocks of debris got thrown over 100ft. Driver said the car's brakes failed. There were no skidmarks, so either bad brakes or they fell asleep.

"Are we... Are we being pricks?" State of Mass forced MBH to designate land for affordable housing. They designated a golf course that will never be developed. When you see Marblehead, read Bainbridge Island. Same NIMBYs My brother lives in MBH, he’s a nimby

A driver destroyed a brick post office sign in East Bremerton last night in a hit and run. This location is two blocks from two elementary schools and just 200 feet from a library.

Seahawk in Bremerton

People are always complaining about dumpster fires, but nobody really cares about the dumpster. That’s either a mediocre joke or a profound sociological observation.

More terrible press for WA State Sen @markoliias.bsky.social’s shameful torpedoing of Kitsap Rep Greg Nance’s Mosquito Fleet Act, which had already passed the house with a massive bipartisan majority. Both an Nance and Liias are up for reelection in 2025. www.axios.com/local/seattl...

Perhaps the very last old school ‘single building and a parking lot’ of the old Denny Triangle.

The city of Seattle is throwing up tons of new bike infrastructure. they stopped throwing ribbon. Cutting ceremonies for bike lanes because too many. This is greatly improved my commute between the ferries and Salmon Bay. But I’ll judge the new mayor on how much for bikes is built in district 2.

Seeing a whale from Central Bremerton should be a joyous experience. But for the second time in three years a whale has come to this part of the Puget sound to die. Nobody knows why. Anyway, if you wanna come pay the last respects to a beautiful grey whale, better hurry.

A 41-year-old Silverdale man died Tuesday night after being struck by a truck near Bethel Rd. SE and SE Van Skiver Rd. in Port Orchard. Kitsap County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived at the scene shortly after 11:00 p.m. 🧵1/2

A fair assessment of Mosquito Fleet Act drama- axed twice by fast ferry grim reaper Sen Marko Liias. But isn't really a 'feud', more like a homicide The piece doesn't mention the Act won overwhelming house majorities in 24-25 and 25-26 sessions (84-6 in 2026) www.seattletimes.com/opinion/at-t...

Kitsap is off to a deadly start of the year with its third pedestrian killed by a driver of 2026. There were 'only' 5 pedestrian deaths in 2025.

Slow ferry blues…

You can walk the aisles of the finest corner stores, 7-11s and bodegas in America, and never will you find a banana-flavored candy. I just don’t think that’s right.

The filing window for the Aug 2026 Primary approaches. I'm curious if anyone will challenge D-21 Senator @markoliias.bsky.social, he who knifed the Mosquito Fleet Act in the back, two years in a row? Here's hopin'...

Mount Rainier from White Pass

Light rail showdown pits Ballard (Seattle) against Tacoma. ST3 revenue shortfall/cost overruns mean only one light rail line can be finished in a reasonable time frame. Hard to imagine Tacoma losing this one. Is ST really going to shut out WA’s 2nd largest county?

Two years ago, a sick grey whale spend two weeks in Bremerton’s Port Washington Narrows, before dying. Another grey whale is back… hopefully not the same turnout. @mikellepoulson’s photo

Bluesky is kinda lame. Look at this. Big story! Potential Sea Lightrail game changer! 2 comments. Sigh

Boston strives to catch up with Bremerton, possibly eliminating parking minimums. mass.streetsblog.org/2026/04/15/c...

The bastards in Congress just voted to lift the mining ban near the #BoundaryWaters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota, w/ all Dems voting against. If you care about this topic, come TOMORROW, 5:30pm, Mountaineers HQ, Sandpoint, Seattle. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Two West Sound school districts can’t ever pass levies: South Kitsap (Port Orchard) and North Mason (Belfast) “Twice in 2025, in February and November, NM district voters turned down levies… Following the February failure, the district cut nearly $4.5M...” www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/e...

WA State fatal car-on-pedestrian collisions were slightly down in WA in 2025 compared to 2024 but still up up 25% from the pre-pandemic average 2016-2019. Huge jump in 2023-2024 Data: WA State Patrol fortress.wa.gov/wsp/collisio...

Say what you will about WA sprawl, #Colorado is way, way worse... Both states have grown population at similar rates since 2000. "Colorado...continues to devour open space at a rate of almost 14,000 acres per year (21 square miles)... almost 40 acres per day." coloradosprawl.com/conclusions/

2k ICE arrests in WA in 6 months. Seems low, like the Eye of Sauron hasn’t pointed towards us yet.

Did you know that Washington State has 62 occupied #islands. 31 of them have fewer than 100 people living on them. 11 have fewer than 10 residents. 53 are unoccupied, but still the state counts their population, as they should. ofm.wa.gov/wp-content/u...

I get some of my best work done between 10pm and 2am. I wish I didn't have to sleep. I wish I wasn't required to be away between noon and 3pm. Sigh.

BZF will be a 2 day fest this year, Friday Evening and Saturday afternoon. Applications open 4/20 and close 6/15.

Dude flipped his van, then got out and sat on top cross-legged, stoned and drunk. Port O, man. It's wild down there. Kitsap's Alabama.

Another Bremerton cyclist - a 20s male - was severely injured by a driver - this time a hit-and-run in Chico 'hood, with a red Mazda CX30 or CX50 as the weapon of choice. His mom's wrote facebook post, warning of an "angry momma on your doorstep, who is not willing to wait for karma to come around"

Ongoing road carnage in Kitsap. "Rivian SUV was significantly exceeding the 25-mph limit when it left the roadway and struck a fence and trees. 17-year-old was killed, four other occupants sustained substantial injuries... KC Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident as Vehicular Homicide"

Sick burn: Hearing examiner ruled that zoning code did not violate the WA’s Environmental Policy Act, writing, “The appellant has made a valiant effort to render the plain and clear terms of a statute ambiguous. No such ambiguity is found.” www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/l...

On SR3 in Brem, two motorists exited their vehicle to assist a crashed motorcyclist. An oncoming driver crashed his pickup into all three. “WSP said that speed may have been a factor in the crash.” www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/l...

Dravus is a terrible place for a light rail station. It’ll have the fewest boardings in the system. I work near there Corridor C hitting Fremont would be a far superior. Im sure I’m a decade late to this convo but… Interbay… meh

Opponents of a 90-unit affordable housing development, walkable to jobs and WAF ferries lost an appeal. Kicking and screaming, Bainbridge Island will eventually be forced to allow a small development in their vast city. www.bainbridgereview.com/2026/03/27/s...

People like suburbs and exurbs, shrug.

Saw orcas in Rich Passage this morning, headed towards Bremerton.

King County (orange) took a huge dip in 2021, then grew quickly.
