A new station for the Poulsbo Fire Department is going to be built on Viking Avenue, which will serve the west side of the city and the nearby Scandia/Keyport area.

Station 76 will be constructed at 19145 Viking Ave. and is expected to reduce response times to that area as the need for units from other stations to respond to this area will decrease, improving their reliability for emergency response, PFD’s website states.

The 6,700-square-foot station will serve as a satellite facility and will sit low within the topography of the site to help mitigate sound and light. The new facility will be split-level, with three bays, four sleeper rooms, and 11 parking spaces to accommodate staff and visitors.

PFD has four stations: at Liberty Road, at Falkner Road, at Pioneer Hill Road and at Pacific Avenue in Keyport.

Carletti Architects and TRICO out of Skagit County will complete the design-build.
