Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue considers relocating Silverdale Way station
SILVERDALE Kitsap County is working to acquire land in Silverdale currently in the hands of DNR, and Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue is also eying the land as a possible location for a new station.
The forested 27-acre DNR parcel near Clear Creek was slated to be traded to a developer to generate revenue for the state’s Common School Trust. But after outcry from the public in 2019, the transaction was canceled. Now the county is working on a plan for the land, which could include amenities like affordable housing, protection of Clear Creek Trail, areas for school use and perhaps a new fire station.
(City of Coralville news release)
A portion of the Clear Creek Trail will be closed Monday, April 19 from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Tree work will be conducted including removal of some large trees damaged in last August’s derecho event. The section closed will be from Camp Cardinal Boulevard going west to 25th Avenue. Trail users should plan to reroute by exiting the trail at 12th Avenue and using the side path to go west or by entering the trail west of 25th Avenue.

Editor’s note: The following is a press release from the City of Bloomington. Bloom has republished it here with edits for style and clarity.
Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton has announced that Deputy Mayor Mick Renneisen plans to retire from his position on April 23 after four decades of service to the City of Bloomington and the community. Mayor Hamilton appointed Renneisen as deputy mayor in January 2016, when Renneisen was serving as administrator of the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department.
“After 40 years of public service, it’s time for me to retire and spend more time with my family,” says Renneisen. “When I started as the Parks and Recreation Department’s Sports Coordinator on April 20, 1981, I never imagined that I would work for the City of Bloomington for 40 years. I’m fortunate to have served our community in various roles during the tenures of four mayors over the course of four decades.”
