The "Concerts on the Boardwalk" series starts tonight!

For the next four Friday nights you can spend an amazing time down on the water with music and amazing views.  The concert series is sponsored by the Bremerton Main Stream Association and is one of the most popular. If you want you can tie up at the new Bremerton Marina too.  The Bremerton Boardwalk area is one of the most fun in the Kitsap County.

Tonight's concert by Jr. Cadillac is brought to you by sponsor West Hills Auto Plex.

With the weather it should be a gorgeous night!

This coming weekend is the 2nd Annual Bremerton Boat Show down at the new Bremerton Marina.  If you haven't been down to the new Bremerton Marina this would be a great weekend to check it out.  I love going down to the marina and just hanging out.

JANUARY 22ND - 24TH

AT THE "NEW" BREMERTON MARINA

 FRIDAY Noon to 4pm     SATURDAY 10am to 4pm     SUNDAY 10am to 4pm

You can ride the ferry and walk off and you will be right at the show or you could drive downtown where there is plenty of parking right at the marina.  You could also cruise on over and enjoy one of 50 guest morrage slips available.

If you have never visited the new Bremerton Marina - take a look at the video.  There is so much to do down on the Bremerton waterfront these days!

Harborside Fountain Park - 251 1st Street Bremerton - Downtown - Harborside District

• 5 fountains
• Granite Sculptures
• Naval History Museum
• Waterfront Views
• Restrooms
• Tables and Benches

There are these five copper fountains that "burst" water into the air at different times and different intervals. I had no idea. I was just watching the water fall down the sides when all of a sudden "burst" and with this loud swishing water sound out came this large stream of water. I was so caught off guard that I screamed!! I was the only one in the park so that made me laugh!!

From terrorist blockade to PSNS Memorial Plaza.

After the September 11 attacks security for military installations around the country implemented new security measures, and bases in Kitsap County followed suit.  The Navy proceeded to purchase land in downtown Bremerton adjacent to the Bremerton Puget Sound Naval Shipyard entrance for a security buffer.  Instead of looking at some jersey barriers along the sidewalk the City of Bremerton had a vision that would lead to the creation of PSNS Memorial Plaza. 

The now complete park prevents vehicles from driving into the shipyard fence and its gorgeous with lots of plantings, fountains, cut and polished boulders, a ship's bow and a history lesson! 

The bow is from the Guided Missile Cruiser USS South Carolina. 

The park is a history lesson of the shipyard.  There are three sections, women workers of WWI near Burwell Street, in the middle World War II history and at the bottom the area honoring today's shipyard workers. 

On Sunday I went down with my video camera to capture this unique and gorgeous Bremerton feature.  I had been down a few weeks ago but hadn't carried my camera.  Sunday was a gorgeous day and I really enjoyed my time there.  While video taping a Navy Veteran stopped me to ask some questions. Lots of Navy Veterans visit Bremerton and the shipyard probably because they served here at one time in their career.

Once again the Downtown Bremerton Association is sponsoring a fun-filled downtown event.  What more could you ask for on the 4th of July except for something that reminds you of yesteryear and what a great place like the new revitalized Bremerton Downtown area. 

Fourth Street Market will be open and provide vendors will all sorts of items from food, to crafts, to art.  The Aurora Valentinetti Puppet Museum will provide a Magician along with puppet making. 

You might want to dress up in your "Uncle Sam" attire and have your photo taken by the Roving Photographer and if you need some vintage clothing for that photo you can stop in to Ish Vintage Clothing and Pacific Northwest Costume for help. 

I know CJ's Evergreen Market will be onhand - grab one of those burgers!!

There is going to be music, and signing and all the things that make a holiday like this special. 

FREE ice cream will be provided - thanks to Puget Sound Dairy and Costco!

An Old Fashioned Fourth of July wouldn't be complete without games - GAMES!

Enter the jump rope contest or play some hop scotch! 

After a day of fun take advantage of the Bremerton Boardwalk, the new Bremerton Marina and the Harborside Fountain Park. Have dinner out doors at Anthony's or take a picnic and sit on the steps looking over the waterfront!

• Remember to support the businesses downtown and remember to support this year's sponsors!
• Remember downtown is a great place to watch the fireworks over Port Orchard.
  

Here is a video I took of the Fourth Street Market last year so you can see how much fun this is!

I so enjoy springtime in downtown Bremerton! I love it when they bring out the flower baskets. I love hanging flower baskets and just put mine out this past weekend at home. So I was thinking about the annual Park and Rec Flower Basket and Plant sale. The flower baskets are smaller versions of the hanging planters which are placed on the City's Downtown streets each Summer. Here is the information!

The Park and Recreation Department will hold a Flower Basket and Plant sale from 8:00AM to 5:00PM on Friday, May 8th at the Sheridan Community Center 680 Lebo Boulevard.

For additional information, or to pre-order baskets, please call Cynthia at 360-473-5425

Ron Finney of North Woods Productions left a comment on my Port Orchard | The Video post about a new project that he completed in January for the Port of Bremerton's New Marina.  I have posted video of the New Bremerton Marina on my own but not being the professional I wanted to share Ron's awesome production. 

He has captured not only the New Bremerton Marina but so much more of the ever changing downtown area of Bremerton.  The Harborside District, the festivals, the Harborside Fountain Park. Just an amazing capture of the exciting and ever changing Bremerton Downtown area. This is why I have so much fun going downtown!

If you ride the ferry, work on the ferry or are a member of communities that are served by the Washington Ferry System, which by the way is the largest in the country you may want to mark Saturday to help write a better ferry plan.

Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor has advised the public that the two drafts of the Washington State Ferries’ long-range plan options – Plan A and Plan B are inadequate. Rep. Seaquist is leading the charge with a campaign called “Citizens Write Plan C”. Isn’t that just the coolest name of a committee you have seen?!

So Saturday plan to attend the project planning meeting at the Norm Dicks Government Center located at 345 Sixth Street, Bremerton at 9 am.

A Web site — www.CitizensWritePlanC.com — be online soon.

Rep. Larry Seaquist can be reached in Olympia at (360) 786-7802 or at seaquist.larry@leg.wa.gov.

It can never be easy when it comes to cities, governments, tribal treaties and area residents. "It" can be anything, but for the City of Bremerton right now the "It" is the Bremerton Boardwalk Project. In February of this year I wrote a blog post about Bremerton's Revitalization and the Mayor's 2007 Harborside District Report. In my post I outlined the reasons that I enjoy the Bremerton Downtown area and how I enjoy living in an area that values the quality of the downtown core. I also wrote a blog post about the actual project,

Bremerton | Bremerton Boardwalk, Park & Sewer Project | Highest Priority

One of my most favorite Bremerton projects is the Bremerton Boardwalk, Park & Sewer Project. So today when I looked at one of the top stories of the local newspaper the Kitsap Sun, I was disappointed to see an article written by Christopher Dunagan titled, "Bremerton Continues Making Its Case for Boardwalk Project".

I am no politician, no activist; my views are never one extreme or the other. I sometimes just don't understand all the bureaucracy we have these days. I do understand that the past has scared the present when it comes to environmental impacts and I try to wrap my head around most of those issues.

I also try to respect the Indian Culture and Heritage that are strong in the Pacific Northwest. I understand we must protect the waterways, protect the way of life, be good citizens to mother earth, and yet I have this huge desire to want to see Bremerton become a shining star again.

I want to see the bustle and hustle that was downtown, I want to shop there, have dinner there and spend my Saturdays enjoying the city I live in. I want to feel safe while walking alone, I want people that are relocating to my city wanting to buy a home here. I want downtown Bremerton to be a "destination" like other cities in the Puget Sound area.
