For Danny Becker of Bremerton, the midday ferry run is a means of survival.
As a King County Metro employee, he uses the 12:20 p.m. boat from Bremerton to Seattle to get to work on time. He changes shifts every four months, but for now, he uses the midday run five times a week.

“When you’re over in Norway, when my mother put something on the table, you ate it,” he said.

When Kathryn Hess first moved to Silverdale in 1939, it was a town of gravel roads, small shops and family-owned farms.
There were no sidewalks, much less highways, and she churned her own butter and sold her cows’ milk to friends.
Hess recalls it being a close-knit community. When World War II started, everyone pitched in to support their neighbors at home and the troops abroad, and when Silverdale needed

The Kitsap Humane Society announced last month it would change direction in 2011 and dedicate 100 percent of its enforcement resources to animal cruelty cases rather than nuisance or noise complaints. The announcement marked a major policy shift for the agency, prompted by the prospect of an 11 percent cut in the money it receives from the county, the society’s biggest client.
When Roberta Beery first started cycling four years ago, she could have used some help gaining the confidence she needed to bike in traffic.
During her first year of cycling, she didn’t make her way into busy roads at all.
“I didn’t want to head out into traffic on my own,” said Beery, who lives in Hansville
