West Bremerton Revitalization
It's not just downtown Bremerton that is going thru some "revitalization", West Bremerton is enjoying some as well. About a year ago the new Rite Aid on the corner of Kitsap Way and National Ave opened just in time for the Holiday season. The building was a huge improvement to the corner and area in general.
Rite Aid wasn't a new neighbor, just moved into the new building. Now of course where there is a Rite Aid there must be a Walgreens!! Right? I am not kidding. The property that is a vacant / abandoned used car … (8 comments)

BREMERTON NAVAL MUSEUM
The oldest building located on the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard site was relocated by the US Navy to Harborside Fountain Park to become the new home of the Naval Memorial Museum of the Pacific. The new location along with the opening of the museum was dedicated this past August.
This majestic 100 year old building is the perfect place to showcase moments of the Navy and the history of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Attached to the museum is the Harborside Fountain Room which overlooks the fountain park with a full glass wall. This room can also … (2 comments)

Discount Tire 5034 State Highway 303 NE, Bremerton, WA 98311
When ever you relocate to a new area you always have to find new service businesses. Where to have your oil changed, who to use for dry cleaning, where to take your car for service, the list goes on and can be time consuming. I love to share my experiences for services when I find a business that is deserving.
I found "my tire store"! After doing a ton of research on the Internet and making a couple of calls I decided … (0 comments)

NY Hot Dogs with Attitude!
On my travels on the Boardwalk I came across what I could see as the only "on the Boardwalk" eatery. There are those that overlook the Boardwalk but only one that is "on" the Boardwalk. Uptown Mike's, NY Hot Dogs with Attitude! First I thought to myself, "Is there a Mike?" and "Is Mike from New York?" So the nosey person that I am I walked into the small little building. (Later I learned it was the old harbormaster's office on the boardwalk).
There was a young man at the counter so I … (0 comments)

Located near the public boat launch at Bremerton's Evergreen Park is the Bremerton WWI Memorial. The memorial is in memory of the local men who fought and died in WWI. There are 20 Names engraved on plates attached to the stone structure. This time of year the memorial is so gorgeous because of the flowers that are in full bloom. Stop when you are at the park and pay your respect to those that died for our freedom.

This last Thursday and today Saturday, June 14th, were great for getting out and about in the Bremerton area. We finally received some sun and even though the temperatures were only in the mid 60's it was perfect!
I decided to visit some of my favorite places in Bremerton and shoot some video so you can see this gorgeous area. One of the reasons I chose to live in Bremerton was because of the water. I love being around water and if I can't be on an ocean beach I will take any beach. This is why Evergreen Park is … (0 comments)

USS TURNER JOY (DD-951)
Whenever we transferred to a new location we turn into "tourists". We call it our new "Navy" vacation. How many families get to live all over the country and "vacation" without leaving home?
The first year at a new duty station we spend most of our free time searching out the local area attractions. However, that isn't the case with the USS Turner Joy; we visited the USS Turner Joy prior to leaving Bremerton the first time. In fact I think it was a "Saturday Date".
I had never been around the Navy and so I … (5 comments)

The "HEART OF DOWNTOWN". On quiet days you can sit on a bench and watch the ferries come and go, on others days you can participate in local activities such as the Blackberry Festival or the summer Concert series, either way it is a fun place to be. The Blackberry Festival is held over Labor Day weekend and the "Concerts on the Boardwalk" series are held on Fridays starting in July. My husband and I have spent the 4th of July there watching the fireworks.

This last fall I spent some time down on the Bremerton Boardwalk taking photos of the new attractions and learning about the revitalization projects that were complete. Harborside Fountain Park was one of my favorite.
Below is the article I wrote back in October or you can click here and see it with the fall pictures.

bremerton wa relocation: Bremerton WA :: Out & About | Video Series | The New Bremerton Marina - 05/16/08 10:51 AM
Today was gorgeous so I decided to update all of the Bremerton Out & About series with video. This is the first of several showing all of the area attractions I have blogged about in the past with video. I was amazed at how much fun the Bremerton Marina was. No, I don't have a boat and yet I had a blast walking out and looking back at the Bremerton Boardwalk. This will be a great spot to have a picnic or just sit in the sun and read a book. I never thought I would enjoy the new Marina but … (8 comments)

bremerton wa relocation: Police Officers go RETRO - 11/28/07 04:02 PM
Have you heard the words One Adam 12? If not then you are little young to enjoy the "back to black" retro police cruiser. Back in the day all of the patrol cars where a black and white color scheme, hence the slang term "black and white". In this month's Mayor's Newsletter Mayor Cary Bozeman writes about the "New Black and Whites on Bremerton Streets."
In the 1970's departments started to do some changes with different colors and styles. Looks like Bremerton is jumping on the 2005 swing back to the traditional black and white. There are 5 now with the entire fleet … (6 comments)

HARBORSIDE FOUNTAIN PARK
Bremerton's newest park addition - and all I can say is WOW!!
I had read a little about the park which opened in May of this year but had yet to visit. What is called "Harborside" is at the other side of the Boardwalk. I was able to walk up the stairs to the ferry terminal and cross over. I stood up above and looked down at this amazing park. The vegetation, the stone sculptures and the copper fountains - AMAZING!!
There are these five copper fountains that "burst" water into the air at different times and different intervals. I had … (0 comments)
