This photo was taken in the world famous Horse and Cow dive bar. The place is chock full of parts allegedly stolen off local submarines. The timer has it, if you take a sub part and donate it to the bar, you drink for free all night.

These two are the godfathers of parking reform in Bremerton. Kevin Walthall began writing urbanist and parking op-eds in the Kitsap Sun 2019. And Erik Pedersen has been pushing parking reform his entire 8yrs on the Planning Commission. Brem CMs Coughlin, Rebelowski and Mockler were pivotal as well.

Omg longest city council meeting ever. Finally we’ve reached parking minimums. Market based or bust!

Bremerton council enthusiastically supported (unanimous ) a quite progressive Land Use element to the 2044 Comp Plan. I read about so many cities w their NIMBYs pushing back against growth. Not Bremerton, bring it on.

Very good chance that - tomorrow - Bremerton, WA will vote to eliminate all minimum parking regulations, citywide. If it happens, we'll be the 6th city in WA to do so. Market Based Parking, we're calling it.

Counting noses on Brem’s citywide parking reform. The vote may happen this Wed and it’s gonna be close. We can generally count on 4 votes for multimodal issues. But only 3 of them are in favor of market-based parking reform. Pretty sure we have one more vote, maybe two. Gonna be close…

Bremerton City Council study session last night: there were definitely 4 (of seven, a majority) strong voices in favor of eliminating parking minimums, citywide! Spirited debate, the vote won't be unanimous (like it was in the planning commission). Final vote next Wednesday!

WA State Ferries fare increases are coming. All fares will go up $0.50. Additionally, WSF may add a 2.5% dare increase to all round trips, shorten the lifespan of multi-ride passes and/or a 30% summertime surcharge.

Farebox Recovery for all the KT Ferries is 16.4% - about avg for WA agencies. But much higher than that for the Brem-SEA route, which brings 57% of KT's ferry fare revenue. KT doesn't break out expenses by route.

KT’s Fast Ferries are WA’s most expensive public transit lines. and it’s getting more expensive, $13 per round trip, up from $12. And no more transfers on the Orca card. Expected to raise at least $800k in 2025. www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/2...

The media hasn't (yet) reported on the new car-death stats. Presumably they will when WTSC does a press release. But it's predictable how it will be reported: 'some progress reducing deaths, more work to be done.' What it should be is: 'holy shit, road deaths are up 35% over the whole 20-teens."

Bremerton Mayor Wheeler's "Mayor's 2025 Initiatives' for Parking and Transportation. The big problem: in-bound, workday vehicle traffic to the Shipyard/ferries. Solutions? no mention of reducing # vehicle trips, nor mode shift to active transportation or transit Graveyard of ideas. Time for change

As Greater Boston’s last typewriter shop closes, here’s your semi-annual reminder that Bremerton, WA has two typewriter shops. The repair shop trains apprentices, to keep the trade alive. Brem is delightful and surprising in several ways.
