t’s that time of year again. Flowers are blooming. The sun is staying out longer. And farmers are hauling their products to markets, supplying our tables with all that’s fresh, local, and unique about Kitsap County. Nothing’s sweeter than a fresh red apple or crisp carrot from your own backyard. The local markets are the next best thing, and there are several farmers markets to choose from. Our farmers markets feature fresh produce, foods, and flowers, as well as art and other handmade items. It’s a casual shopping experience, where you can not only taste the merchandise but also chat with the vendors.

POULSBO — With the coming of Rainy Daze Brewing Co., Poulsbo will be No. 1 in the USA in terms of number of breweries per capita. Really. That’s according to Dave Lambert, who keeps track of such things. He is head brewer and owner of Slippery Pig Brewery. Poulsbo has one brewery for every 2,300 residents: ■ Sound Brewer y’s brewery and tasting room on two sites on Viking Avenue. ■ Rainy Daze’s brewery and tasting room on Bovela Lane off Viking Avenue. ■ Slippery Pig’s brewpub in downtown Poulsbo.

With four breweries and a tasting room within its city limits, Poulsbo has one brewery for every 2,300 residents. That’s ahead of Bend, Oregon, which has one for every 3,333. Terryl M. Asla / Herald photo illustration
■ Valhöll Brewing’s brewery and tasting room on 3rd Street, near City Hall. The nearest city to come close, according to Lambert, is Bend, Oregon, with one brewery for every 3,333 people. Far from seeing Rainy
Daze as competition, Lambert and owners of the other two Poulsbo breweries are completely supportive. They and their staff think more breweries will be good for their own business and for Poulsbo. “It makes Poulsbo a destination port,” Lambert
said. “Beer tourism is a coming thing.” “Definitely. Definitely bringing tourists,” echoed Jared Snyder, the production manager at Valhöll Brewing. Poulsbo’s first brewery, Valhöll opened in 2012. See BREW, Page A5

BREMERTON — The only place that there wasn’t blood, an actor from Central Kitsap High School said on stage, was where Mathew Shepard’s tears had flowed down his face. A haunting silence engulfed the Olympic College theater March 25 as students presented “The Laramie Project,” a play about the 1998 beating death of Shepard, a gay college student, in Laramie,
Wyoming. The performance was a call for social change — as well as acceptance of individual differences and respect for human rights. It was a powerful part of the 21st annual Kitsap Youth Rally for Human Rights. The student-run rally was hosted by the QSA (Queer Straight Alliance) at West Sound Academy; the theme was “Listen to Your Art.” The one-day conference was attended by more than 300 students from junior and senior high schools in Jefferson, Kitsap and Pierce counties, and included discussions and activities focusing on a number of social issues. “This is a really fun tradition that unites (the) hard
