Kitsap Regional Library summer programs offer fun family activities
Kitsap Regional Library's Summer Learning program offers self-paced reading and learning experiences for school-age children and teens during summer break.

One of the other great programs offered through the Kitsap Regional Library is the Read to a Dog program.

Roadwork project update
Construction of the NW Greaves Way and Old Frontier Road NW roundabout is suspended until late July due to supply chain challenges with the new roadway illumination poles. Construction on this project is not yet complete and crews will resume work once the new light poles arrive. The newly constructed roundabout is currently open with no restrictions. This project provides enhanced traffic flow and increases safety. Visit the project website at kcowa.us/Greaves.

Supporting & advocating for our community!
Welcome to our new North Kitsap County Commissioner
After 16 years of service in the Washington State Legislature, Christine Rolfes is stepping down from the Washington State Senate and was sworn in June 20 to serve on the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners. Read more about the new Commissioner here.
In Washington, state legislative vacancies are filled by the board of county commissioners. The political party committee of the elected official who last held the vacant seat must submit a list of recommended candidates to the board of county commissioners who then must choose a new official from those recommendations. The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners is expected to take action on filling the vacated Senate seat in September. Click here to read more about the process to appoint a replacement.
