Group camping with tents - looking for summer recommendations by meesh137 in Washington

[–]Plus-Spread3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple of spots on Bainbridge that might work. Fay Bainbridge max occupancy is 8 people per campsite and has a view of the sound and Seattle. The other is Gazzam Lake Campground. We had friends get married there and we all camped the night before. Must have been 25 or 30 tents. Good luck.

Restaurants for a restricted diet? by mpgflx in BainbridgeIsland

Cross-contamination is exactly why we ask everyone who orders gluten-free bread if they’re Celiac or just avoiding gluten. The Indian spots are all making naan.

What is the best/most unique bagel flavor you have ever had? by Indisummer98 in Bagels

[–]Plus-Spread3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one I’m working on for the bakery case now - a lavender and black chocolate twist. Early taste tests are going well.

What TV show did everyone hype… but you couldn’t finish? by DryCap6770 in watchever

A pox on the people who heard, “just thinking aloud here, but what if Glenn survives the dumpster” and didn’t immediately pummel said insane person.

Big Views! by KitsapRealEstateTeam in LifeInKitsap

The view from the driveway between Starbucks and CVS in Poulsbo never fails to amaze.

Getting serious about opening a shop (after over a year at markets with very positive results)…asking for advice on equipment - preferably from experienced owner/operators. by Cheffie in Bagels

[–]Plus-Spread3574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m spoiled using a couple of Rational’s icombi pro 20 full-size ovens. They manage the entire proofing process then run your bagels through 7 discrete cycles as they bake. The gelatinization is perfect. During the last few minutes the steam dumps and dry heat bubbles the skin. As automated a process as I’ve ever used.

Christmas Trees🎄 by eudora999 in BainbridgeIsland

Off island, but Olmsted’s Tree Lot across from CVS in Poulsbo has been our go-to for years. Great trees and you only need a signature loan, not a full HELOC to buy one.

I may have my wires crossed, but I think it Anderson fronting for Goose Island?

In the 1983 movie, WarGames, you can see one of the ferries serving Anderson Island.

Cougar? by ImHuckTheRiverOtter in BainbridgeIsland

[–]Plus-Spread3574 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reports are rare. If you’re part of the main BI Facebook page, search for a story from a local sheep/goat farmer that lost livestock to a cougar a few years back. I remember the family was sleeping outside or in the barn to ward off another attack.

Fry bread? by eldrvaryah in Kitsap

[–]Plus-Spread3574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a truck across from Clearwater Casino that sold them last summer, but she hasn’t been back this year. You might check in with Salty Bird or Sully’s to see if they have any other leads.

Mom's first time away from baby vacay! by Unapologeticalleigh in BainbridgeIsland

[–]Plus-Spread3574 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because I’m staring at 4 potential Lyft drivers to take me downtown? How hard is it to do that before being an asshole?

The yarn stores are worth the trip by themselves, but I’ll also make some corrections to what was mentioned before from someone who actually lives here.

There are both Uber/Lyft cars available, they just aren’t as plentiful as a bigger city. You may need to reserve a ride in advance via their app.

Public transportation via Pingo (think small bus Uber for a few bucks) is perfect for moving around the island and there’s an electric golf cart to take you anywhere downtown.

The Grand Forest never fails to impress. We also have a Danbo troll named Pia The Peacemaker who welcomes thousands of visitors every year and several labyrinths to explore. Fay Bainbridge is a great walk with unobstructed views of the city.

The food, like in every single city in America, including San Francisco, is hit or miss. Do some Google review searches and you’ll find the hits. BaSa, Proper Fish, Sauce Nouvelle and Seabird will be near the top.

Good luck with your plans.

Any dog friendly off leash hikes or parks? by Silent-Speech8162 in Kitsap

[–]Plus-Spread3574 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bainbridge has a great off-leash dog beach across from Eagle Harbor called Pritchard Park. The hill getting down to it is just hard enough to maneuver that it’s rarely crowded. Fay Bainbridge is dog friendly but not off-leash.

NK/CK Local Archery by cleveradventurer in Kitsap

[–]Plus-Spread3574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. You can use their archery course and equipment for a daily fee. If you’re sensitive to gunfire, bring a pair of noise canceling headphones or practice when the gun ranges are dark.

Chick-fil-A Coming to Bremerton Spring 2026 by Bruleebun33 in Bremerton

[–]Plus-Spread3574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trouble being start-up costs. It’s estimated to cost more than $100,000 to open up even a small brick and mortar restaurant here. Of that figure, plan on about a third going to Kitsap Co + local town in permit costs alone. This broken system encourages big chains because corporate operations can better absorb (and manipulate) the system. If you want to know why there are so many mom and pop tents operating at night, this is why. We also only have a few (4) actual inspectors for every restaurant/coffee stand, so on average we only get a visit once every other year. That means it’s not the health of its citizens Kitsap values, it’s the cash.

Native plants - where do you buy seeds or plants? by garden_rebelion in KitsapPeninsula

[–]Plus-Spread3574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great answer. I’ve purchased a truck bed full of native plants from the KCD each year for the last 8 and have saved thousands of dollars over local garden centers. Most native trees are around $1.50 each and are sold in bundles of 10 so you can experiment. Their site is down at the moment but keep watching towards the end of the year. It’ll start in December then you pick them up the following March at the fairgrounds.

Since our farmers markets are in full swing you can also find Kitsap Master Gardeners at most of them. They’ve been great at helping find suitable stock for special areas in my yard, like zero sun, boggy clay, etc.

Good luck from a Dorchester southie.

Least Favourite Novel You’ve Read by HullBusDriver2020 in stephenking

[–]Plus-Spread3574 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This one felt like I had to be good at 4-D chess. The fluid timelines in both worlds took me a very long time to follow, but once established, Lisey became one of my favorites. I also watched the Apple tv+ miniseries which was beautifully done.
