• Sea Times Discovers the Armpit of Kitsap County

  View Larger Map Now that Gorst -- the unincorporated Kitsap cove that reliably makes Bremerton look good -- has been touted as a bargain by The Seattle Times, it can only be a matter of days until the Pit becomes the latest real estate hotspot. Sandwiched between Bremerton's shit plant and Gold Mountain Golf Complex -- a hell of a course that hosted the 2006 Publinx, and serves a mean bacon and eggs -- has far more to offer than cheap real estate and auto dealerships. To name just a few neigh

• Elections Director Decides to Fight for Her Job

  And she was willing to move to do it. Sherril Huff, who was appointed to the post in 2007, said earlier this fall that she wasn't interested in running should the voters decide to make her job an elected position. For one thing Huff, then a Kitsap County resident, would've been ineligible. Not anymore. Turns out Huff has moved to Seattle so she could compete with the growing field of candidates for her job. A spokesperson for Huff's campaign says she registered today as a King County voter. Hu

• NYT Discovers Enchanted Island

  Yes, right here on Puget Sound, there is a magical isle, a veritable Brigadoon ringed by gentle waters, an enclave of all that is good, organic, and proper. A place we call Bainbridge Island, which The New York Times here celebrates in its travel section ("Havens," part of Great Homes and Destinations).We learn that Bainbridge is a place of "Boutiques, galleries and restaurants," one inhabited by many second-home owners who enjoy its "charming amenities." But it's not just a gilded enclave for t

  Mike Shepherd wants to be the next mayor of Bremerton.This just in from our friends at the Cannabis Defense Coalition: PORT ORCHARD, WASH. MAY 28, 2009 -- Last March, a Kitsap County jury acquitted Bruce Olson on charges that he grew more medical marijuana than allowed by state law. During the trial, after the prosecutor attempted to introduce an "example ballast" as evidence, it came to light that the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office had destroyed much of the evidence in the case, including Mr.

  Justin Dylan RenneyRadiohead in Bremerton, at EndFest 1997.​Those late-'90s EndFests at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds were epic. I was just bouncing a few memories off photographer Justin Dylan Renney, the shooter who took this photo of Thom Yorke. I saw that set. It was my first EndFest. And it was like nothing I'd ever experienced before. Those all-day EndFests back in the day were actual festivals. Not the sad situation it's become today. And for those of us who grew up in Kitsap, it wa

• Slush Pile! Warren Moon Edition

  ​You better be on time if you want to see a movie with Warren Moon. The former Husky star quarterback, who helped beat Michigan in the 1978 Rose Bowl, is a stickler about showtimes. It's one of the few concrete, character-illuminating nuggets in his new autobiography, Never Give Up on Your Dream (Da Capo, $25). The retired QB, who played the 1997-98 season with the Seahawks and now broadcasts their games, mostly fills the book with inspirational bromides and vague allusions to his DUIs on

  Natural born romantic Tye Moore's fugitive lifestyle was undone by true love.​Port Orchard Police Detective E.J. Martin was having a little trouble locating his suspect. Former city councilman Tye Moore, 38, had skipped town last August after prosecutors refiled charges accusing him of molesting a young girl. Martin hadn't heard word of him since.
