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.
The retail complex opened under a different name in 1981.
Towne Square Retail Center, at 1700 S.E. Mile Hill Drive, in Port Orchard, has sold for $9.4 million, according to Marcus & Millichap, whose Clayton J. Brown and Ruthanne Romero represented the seller. Kitsap County records say that was the Li family, which acquired the property in 2005 for almost $6.5 million. It was then known as South Kitsap Mall.

Kitsap Fresh, Kitsap’s online farmers market, is now offering fresh produce delivery straight to your doorstep.
With a boost from a Department of Agriculture grant, the co-op has launched a delivery service on Bainbridge Island with plans to expand to serve North Kitsap and beyond as the service works through logistical hurdles, said Kitsap Fresh General Manager Erin Smith.
The co-op had heard from customers that they were interested in that kind of service, and it seemed like a logical next step, he said: “We’ve always wanted to do it, but it just kind of worked out with the pandemic.”
