Survivors and guest speakers (including Gov. Jay Inslee will come together on Bainbridge to commemorate 80 Years of Healing at the National Japanese American Exclusion– a day that marks the very first displacement of Japanese American citizens as a result of President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066.

Ken Matsudaira will be reading the 276 names on the memorial wall while Rev. Senji Kanaeda rings the gong after each name.

The ceremony will begin at 11am at the Bainbridge Island Japanese Exclusion Memorial, and also be webcasted live on Facebook by the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community.

The Street Fair at GO4 2022 returns to more of a hometown feel with dozens of local and regional vendors gathering to showcase their creative wares and tasty treats... ensuring everything goes off without a hitch, Kitsap Bank has agreed to generously sponsor this year’s event.

Business owners - Remember that Kitsap County sales tax increases on Friday to 9.2 cents for every dollar.

The increase was approved in January to help raise funds for affordable housing and housing services for those making below 60% of the area median income (which was $79,624 in 2021).

Invented by resident Frank Pritchard’s father and two other friends in 1965, Pickleball is also officially now the fastest-growing sport in the world - loved, respected and enjoyed for its ease of playability for players of all ages.

The second scenario identified by the Sustainable Transportation Plan Committee calls for $31 million invested over 6 years to connect all the island’s business centers so they can be accessed by everyone in multiple ways.
