Kingston has a new bakery in town!  Just what we have wanted for so long.  It is located in the Old Kingston Hotel at First and Washington.

This new bakery is a combination of bakers and businesses under one roof from what I gathered on my visit.

Mirracole Morsels is a family owned baking company, serving the local community with natural morsels of goodness.  I spoke with Nicole Matheson while I was there and she is the provider of the wonderful cookies (we shared a raisin oatmeal because of the extra large size) and their famous granola.  Lacey Menne of Borrowed Kitchen Bakery is the baker of the breads.  We purchased a tomato baguette which we took home and made a super sandwich out of brie cheese and tomatoes.

The view from the deck of the bakery is fantastic, overlooking the Kingston-Edmonds ferry and the Port of Kingston.  This will be a wonderful place for breakfast, lunch, or snack times in the summer.  I can’t wait to sit out on the deck or in the garden and enjoy their great pastries with a cup of coffee, which by the way comes from Cup & Muffin just down the street.

The new Village Green Community Park in Kingston WA is truly a work in progress.  It is a wonderful space to play with the children or dogs, or just to do a little sunbathing or walking and looking at what used to be an old Kingston farm.

The park is located on what was a reclaimed waste water treatment site and Navy housing site.  Future plans include ball fields, walking paths, and a new community center housing a library, senior center, and meeting rooms.

This is the rare 100 year old Camperdown Scotch Elm Tree that was part of the old farm.  Since the tree cannot self reproduce it needs to be protected.  It was adopted by the Kingston Garden Club, and hopefully will have a new sign soon to help assure it continues to thrive.

Right next door to the new and developing park are the Kingston Tennis Courts.  They are busy courts and in good weather almost always have a game being played on them at any time of day.

Right around the corner is the skateboard park, and that is definitely busy all the time.

A visit to Sacks Feed & Garden in Kingston Wa

We stopped by Sacks Feed and Garden in Kingston recently and were greeted at the door by a sweet golden retriever.   She escorted us as we shopped for doggie treats (was that why she was so devoted?), slug repellent, grass seed, and some fall plants.  The store is stocked with gardening books, gifts, feed for all kinds of critters, and most enjoyable for us, flowers.  It was a fantastic sunny day and the plants were putting on their best display for us.  We decided to go next door to the Cup and Muffin to get a latte and stay a little longer.  With only a trace of fall in the air plus the warm sun, it was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
