SILVERDALE — A 33-year-old Bremerton motorcyclist died after the driver of another vehicle allegedly made an unsafe lane change and struck the motorcycle.

According to a Washington State Patrol report, Jared R. Knight, of Silverdale, was riding on a black 2014 Harley FXDL motorcycle north on State Route 3 around 8:51 p.m. Oct. 29. Andrew R. Forrest, 21, of Darrington, was also driving north on SR 3, in a white 1991 Dodge Stealth.
