Kitsap Transit to add back Sunday bus service over the next two years
View Comments
Kitsap Transit will be able to slowly reintroduce Sunday bus service over the next two years and fund $125 million in capital projects thanks to a surprisingly healthy economy and an influx of federal funds, transit officials announced Tuesday.
Kitsap Transit axed Sunday bus service during the Great Recession, and its return has remained a contentious topic in the decade-plus since. Strong sales tax growth over the last several years combined with federal COVID-19 relief funds have resulted in a budget surplus that Kitsap Transit plans to use to stand up Sunday service and fund a plethora of capital projects.
BANGOR A powerful and incessant tsunami generated by the next Cascadia megaquake would crest Navy piers and wharves, flood critical state highways in Kitsap County and inundate other lowland areas of Puget Sound, according to new modeling released Tuesday by the state s Department of Natural Resources.
In Hood Canal, the 9.0 quake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone off Washington s coast would slosh water back and forth like in a bathtub, topping the Navy s submarine piers and pushing waves as high as 14 feet onto the shore at Belfair.
In Sinclair Inlet, the waves would be smaller, the state says, but would still inundate the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard with about a foot of water and likely push more than 3 1/2 feet of water through Gorst, closing the highway. Other lowland areas of Puget Sound, particularly near the mouths of streams including Clear Creek in Silverdale and within Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island, would flood as well.
