January’s snow storm provided a wonderful sledding hill on the road going to the Jefferson Beach Fishing Pier near Kingston Wa. The sledders were flying down as soon as the road became packed enough for the sleds. Since the road curves and is a good distance from start to finish it was an exhilarating experience for sledders of all ages including moms, dads, kids, and even grandpas. Approximately 6 inches of snow was received in a day long burst of winter weather making a winter wonder land for everyone to enjoy. People seemed to be out all day taking walks, sledding, visiting neighbors, and sharing food. Chili, fresh baked corn bread and hot chocolate were enjoyed in our neighborhood, especially by the youngsters who worked up enormous appetites dragging their sleds up the hills. Our local children slept especially well that night.

Kingston Wa Chamber of Commerce

Kingston has one of the cutest, most user friendly chambers in Kitsap County. They have come a long way from their humble beginnings in the little modular building across the street.

The chamber office is manned with the most informative volunteers, plus there is virtually a treasure of information available. Every event for miles around seems to be covered. You are sure to find more info and brochures than you intended.

Besides now being an absolutely pleasant addition to town the little building is an eyeful for the flower lover/gardener. It is, quite simply put, “looking good”! The office just seems to invite one to stroll about and continue on down the street.

And last but not least, a note of gratitude —

to Kitsap County for the fantastic new garbage bins they have been putting around. They are clean and efficient, and so much better than the old blue barrels (which, by the way did their duty!)
