“O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!” – Bites of Kitsap County WA
December 3rd, 2007 by Rich JacobsonOne of our family’s annual Holiday traditions is venturing out the weekend after Thanksgiving, and cutting down our Yuletide Christmas Tree.
In addition to the usual multitude of ‘pre-cut’ tree lots, there are a number of excellent ‘live’ tree farms located throughout Kitsap County WA.
Our first year here, we purchased a ‘pre-cut’ tree from Olmstead’s Christmas Trees here in Silverdale WA. They were close and convenient, just down the street from Clear Creek Elementary on Sunde Road.
For the proceeding couple of years, we went out to Kuney’s Christmas Trees, on Pioneer Road out in Seabeck WA. For a flat fee, you can select any tree on their property, regardless of size. Definitely a good bargain!
The last 3 years, we’ve cut out trees out at Hubert’s Noble Ridge Christmas Tree Farm, off Seabeck Hwy. in Bremerton WA. Although somewhat pricey, compared to other area lots, they have a wide selection of numerous evergreen varieties, including Douglas Fir, Grand Fir, Noble Fir, Shasta Fir, Western White Pine, and Southwest Alpine. They also offer the ”Noble House,” a place to snuggle up to a cozy fire and enjoy a cup of hot cider.
Our local newspaper, the Kitsap Sun, published a fairly comprehensive list of Christmas Tree farms throughout the West Sound area. Go HERE to access the list.
Another great National resource directory for finding Christmas Tree Farms throughout the US is www.PickYourOwnChristmasTree.org
To all of our SoundBiteBlog readers, have a very Merry Christmas Holidays, and a most prosperous New Year!

The new marina (renamed “Olympic View Marina”) is the venture of a Seattle-based marina development group comprised of 4 partners, including local Poulsbo resident, 
Exceptional care and concern has been consistently demonstrated by the developers of Olympic View Marina with regards to the positive environmental impact of the reconstruction, including addressing issues concerning adequate parking and local traffic safety; view restrictions; and any potential impacts on aquatic/tidal habitats and fishery resources. It has been the intention of the developers from the very beginning to go ‘above and beyond’ the permitting requirements.
The new marina offers a significant improvement to the previous one which was condemned as ‘unsafe’ and closed down for over two years. The design of the new marina will have a ‘low impact’ environmentally, and will actually make stated improvements to water quality and fish habitat. Additional repairs will greatly improve the visual aesthetics along the Seabeck shoreline.
