Thank you to our volunteers!
On this national week of volunteer appreciation, special thanks go out to those who have stepped up to volunteer as part of the Kitsap County COVID-19 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) response.
For over 13 months, volunteers served at our COVID-19 test sites, quarantine and isolation center, staging warehouse, severe weather shelters, food banks, vaccination clinics and towing trailers. During this time, these dedicated volunteers have logged over 16,600 hours of service time.
Elizabeth Klute, Kitsap County EOC Director and member of the COVID-19 Unified Command notes, “We simply could not have mounted, or been able to sustain, the level of emergency operations response that we have for the COVID-19 pandemic if it weren’t for the hundreds of volunteers who have and continue to, staff these efforts in Kitsap County. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

Input sought on regional transportation needs and vision
The Puget Sound Regional Council is conducting a survey on the future of transportation in support of the development of its regional transportation plan.
The survey asks questions about current travel patterns, anticipated travel after COVID-19 restrictions lift, services for those with special needs and residents’ vision for the future of transportation. It's important the voice of Kitsap is part of this input. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Please take the survey at engage.psrc.org/regional-transportation-plan. The survey is available in multiple languages.
