After a tumultuous year, Kitsap farmers markets reopen for 2021 season
View Comments
BREMERTON After a year of turmoil that included multiple delays, low attendance and two location changes, the Bremerton Community Farmers Market opened for the 2021 season Thursday at Evergreen Rotary Park.
For organizers, it felt like coming home.
“We are back at Evergreen, which is absolutely fantastic because that’s where we began, that’s where we feel at home, that’s where the community knows us,” market manager Jessica Knuletsky said.
The market’s 2020 opening was delayed by about a month thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers were forced to move to Pendergast Regional Park after Bremerton Mayor Greg Wheeler expressed concern about Evergreen’s many entrances. Attendance plummeted at Pendergast, prompting a second move to Quincy Square on Fourth Street.
Small Cities Relax Accessory Dwelling Units Regulations Too
A city of about 40,000 residents across the Puget Sound from Seattle has relaxed zoning regulations to entice more homeowners to build accessory dwelling units. January 7, 2021, 8am PST | James Brasuell |
The city of Bremerton in the state of Washington recently eased regulations for the development of Accessory Dwelling Units to increase housing production and affordability, reports Doug Trumm. Existing rules allowed backyard cottages or attached ADUs to be up to 60% of the size of the primary residence, writes Trumm. New rules allow ADUs up to 1,000 square feet in size or 60% of primary residence, whichever is larger. That means smaller lots can still support a reasonably sized ADU. Production was anemic under previous rules.
