It is the little things of an area that always intrigue me.  Since I moved back to Bremerton and restarted my real estate career with blogging I have wanted to take a picture of the "Welcome to Bremerton" sign that greets those leaving Highway 3 at Kitsap Way.  I always thought it nice for a city to have these types of signs.  There is one on Wheaton Way in East Bremerton too and I am sure a few more I haven't seen. 

I just kept putting off my stop to the sign because it was in need of cleaning. One day I even took a jug of water and a Magic Eraser with me so that I could clean off the green mossy stuff that grows on stuff here in the Bremerton area of the Kitsap Peninsula.  I pulled in the parking lot of the Dairy Queen across the street but just didn't have the nerve to go and clean the sign! I do some pretty kooky things around town getting pictures for my blog and all I could think of was two words, "Crazy Lady".

I spent 3 weeks up in Alaska the end of July and into August and on my way home after my return flight I turned off Highway 3 onto Kitsap Way and there it was - the sign - all shiny and new! A new color, a new design and WOW how cool!!  This is the style of the new signs downtown around the Bremerton Boardwalk. I was just too excited. So after a couple of weeks getting back into the groove of business I made a special stop to take the picture.  I know this sounds silly - but this is where I live and I love it!

 

Welcome to Bremerton

Hi Jo- That new sign for Bremerton has got quite the modern look to it.

Bill, It does! Sometimes less is more, huh? I like the simple lines and the simple colors! Now I wish I would have taken a picture of the old sign for comparison!

JO:  The new sign gives to the new Bremerton!  How is the underground road from the ferry turning out?  Over the summer the construction in Bremerton was a mess.
