kitsap county wa: Lovin' Where You Live! - Life on the Kitsap Peninsula
- 05/03/18 10:49 AM
One of the things I absolutely LOVE about living here on the Kitsap Peninsula in WA State, is being part of a very large military community. We are honored to have several strategic base installations here in the Western Puget Sound - Bangor Sub Base, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport, and others.
As a Veteran and former Navy submarine sailor, I'm an avid supporter of our active-duty service members and their devoted families. I'm a sucker for those YouTube videos that show Moms and Dads surprising their kids by coming home unexpectedly!
This morning, while I was out watering some … (9 comments)

- 03/01/12 03:34 PM
Poulsbo Place is the award winning, master-planned community in the heart of the famed waterfront village of Poulsbo, Washington.
Designed in traditional Craftsman style, the architecture compliments the picturesque community of 'Little Norway' with its rich Scandinavian heritage.
Poulsbo Place is situated near the waters of Liberty Bay, a popular destination for area boaters and tourists, and is only a short walking distance to a wide variety of restaurants, bakeries, antique shops, clothing boutiques, book stores and gift shops.

kitsap county wa: VA Home Loan Buyers in Kitsap County WA
- 02/27/12 06:09 AM
Here on the scenic Kitsap County WA peninsula, we are fortunate to have a very large military community comprised of Naval Base Kitsap, including the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bangor Subase, and the Keyport Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
As such, many of the active-duty, active reserve, and retired service members buy homes here in Kitsap County WA using VA Home Loan financing. This is a very popular loan product of choice mainly because it doesn't require that the Buyer contribute a down payment.
VA Home Loan rates are usually fairly competitive compared with conventional loan rates. The current VA Home Loan … (0 comments)

kitsap county wa: The Real Estate Office of the Future - TODAY!
- 10/20/11 09:23 AM
Just recently, here on ActiveRain, I posted an article that was featured entitled "Are Brick & Mortar Real Estate Offices Becoming a Dinosaur?"
The comment stream was wonderfully stimulating and thought-provoking, even better than the article itself!
This article was actually a condensed 'teaser' post based on an article that I had published a day earlier on GeekEstateBlog entitled "Real Estate Outside the Box: Questioning the Value of Brick & Mortar"
Which leads me to pose yet another question that inquiring minds want to know:
If You Were Designing the Real Estate Office of the Future, What Would It Look Like?

kitsap county wa: My son Ben Jacobson is the REAL Cake Boss! - Wordless Wednesday
- 12/30/09 05:22 AM
My family celebrated my birthday recently, and so my oldest son, Ben Jacobson, made this fondant cake to commemorate the event. Knowing my love for sushi, he created an assortment of nigri and maki rolls using Swedish Fish, Fruit Roll-ups, Rice Crispies & Marshmallows, and donuts. There's a bowl of sticky rice (Rice Krispies & Marshmallows) and Soy Sauce (Chocolate Syrup), and some Wasabi & Ginger (frosting).

kitsap county wa: Another Wordless Wednesday: Dungeness Crab Pot Pies
- 11/25/09 07:28 PM
Fresh out of the oven - my own recipe, "Crab Pot Pie" which uses generous portions of Dungeness Crab meat that we catch right over in nearby Hood Canal WA. The base is a roasted garlic Alfredo sauce, complimented with fresh green peas, baby carrots, and sliced zucchini squash. The ingredients are placed into a porcelin ramekin (a set of 4 costs $3 at Cost Plus). Use a spare ramekin to cut-out your cover from store-bought pre-made pie crusts. Bake on 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Goes great with a tossed Romaine salad, Sour Dough French bread, and a glass … (15 comments)

kitsap county wa: Lessons on Life from High School Sports - Life on the Kitsap Peninsula WA
- 09/18/09 05:49 AM
I had a few rather awkward and painful, but short-lived experiences with student athletics when I was growing up.
I remember being on a Babe Ruth baseball team out in Livermore CA sponsored by Patterson Glass. It was my first team where the uniform wasn't a cheap silk-screen t-shirt. Even though I couldn't hit or field a baseball, at least I looked as though I had reached the Major Leagues.
My Dad had always been the motivating force behind my illustrious baseball career, so when my folks divorced, and he moved to Southern CA, he wasn't around to remind me of practices or games.
One hot summer afternoon, my sisters … (10 comments)

kitsap county wa: The World according to Zillow
- 11/14/08 03:57 AM
It's 7am on a Friday morning, and I'm sitting here at one of my favorite Kitsap County WA haunts, the Global Bean, enjoying a delicious Cup 'O' Joe, waiting for my good friend and blogging counterpart, Mark Flanders, to arrive.
On an adjoining table, the following headline on today's issue of the Kitsap Sun catches my eye:

kitsap county wa: "Costco Warehouse Silverdale WA" - Local Business on the Kitsap Pensinsula WA
- 08/17/08 11:38 PM
In the early 80's, after the Kitsap Mall was completed, growth in and around the Silverdale WA area literally exploded, and a badly needed retail mecca for residents was created. To this day, it has continued to attract many of the national chains and big box stores.
By far one of my favorites is the COSTCO Wholesale store here in Silverdale.
