Kitsap wineries part of state’s trend bucking industry
By Mark Storer North Kitsap Herald
Wine industry data for thepastcoupleofyearshas shown a downturn.
A restless economy, a younger generation more interested in pre-made and canned cocktails and risingpricesofgrapeshave all been blamed.
Washington state, home to 1,100 wineries, has bucked that trend some. A large portion of the state’s wineries use the direct-toconsumermodelofselling winebecausetheyproduce lessthan5,000casesayear.
In Kitsap County, most of the wineries make less than3,000casesayear,but most are also selling what they make.
From Bainbridge Island to Olalla, Kitsap winemakers are welcoming new customers both younger and older as well as tourists and most are either growing or at least staying fairly even.
“My sales are only slightly down, maybe five percent from last year,” said Mike Lempriere, owner and winemaker of Perennial Vintners on BI. “But that’s nothing to worry about in general.”
Lempriere said that manyofthewineriesonBI have a “built-in” customer base, where customers are either club members or come in regularly. “When COVID hit, most of us got a huge bump in directto-consumer sales,” he said. “But that fell back to normal fairly quickly.”
Heisoneofjust18winemakerswhonotonlymake wine in Puget Sound, but grow grapes here as well, making what are known as “cool climate” wines. Those types of grapes hail originally from places like Alsace, Germany, France or Austria and include wines like Siegrebbe, Melon d’ Bourgogne and Zweigelt, among others.
“My winery and Bainbridge Vineyards are pretty special because we actually grow grapes here, so from that standpoint people who have
an interest in cool climate grapes, we’re their go-to,” Lempriere said.
Mary Ellen Houston, owner of Olalla Vineyard and Winery, grows 3 acres of grapes there, but also gets grapes from Eastern Washington. “I’m a numbers gal, and my numbers are up from last year,” Houston said. “Every year, they continue toimproveandpartofthat isthatI’mnestledperfectly between Gig Harbor and Port Orchard.”
Houston said that she believes the biggest driverstoherwineryaresocial media and word of mouth, along with the road signs on Highway 16.
“As a small business, I
don’t have a lot of money to invest into marketing,” she said. “So I use whateverfreeadvertisingIcan.”
Houston said that her clientele has changed quite a bit as she sees a lot more younger people coming to her winery, whichbucksanothertrend in the industry. “When we first opened, our customers were between 40 and 65, and they still are, but we’re also seeing a lot of 20- and 30-somethings come in with either wedding parties or just groups of friends.”
Houston said she also creates a number of events that include arts, crafts, various food and wine pairings, and invites
people to come in and spend time at the winery.
“If you have a fun event, that’s how you sell wine,” she said. “This state is a unicorn in some ways. We’re outliers and people here like their wine, or mead or beer or whatever, and that tells me that they’re making it part of a healthywork-lifebalance.”
Both wineries selfdistribute their wines, which can be found in stores like Harbor Greens, OlallaBayMarket,BayHay and Feed on BI, Marina Market in Poulsbo and others.

Court papers say Bremerton police responded March 23 to the 100 block of N. Cambrian Avenue at 6:25 a.m. The caller said a woman was on his porch pounding on the door. She was seeking help after being choked by her boyfriend, dragged down the street and punched several times in the head. It was the third time she had been assaulted by him in a month.
A K-9 was brought in to search for the suspect, and a drone was brought in. He was found and when an airhorn was blasted he put his hands up. But he took off and ran into the woods, down some ravines and up a hill, through a swamp then through thick mud and brush. He then climbed a tree to avoid being bit by the K-9.

Kitsap County Superior Court cases
(one year, $5,000). Court documents say Kitsap deputies made the arrest March 26 at 2:28 a.m. in the 18000 block of Harris Avenue NW in Suquamish. The victim said she had been eating, drinking wine and playing cards with her boyfriend of six months when he accused her of being involved with a co-worker before they started dating. She then accused him of the same, and he got mad. She decided to leave, but he wouldn’t let her, grabbing her keys and phone, and pulling her away from thedoorandontothecouch. She ran to the back door but he slammed it shut. She yelled “Google, call 911” but he unplugged the devices so they were inoperable.

She put herlegsaroundhisheadand squeezed, but he bit her. She finally was able to run away screaming while he chased her.
Man waves gun at ex-girlfriend’s dad
Bail was set at $302,000 for a 21-year-old Port Orchard man who threatened his ex-girlfriend’s dad with a gun.
He was charged with two crimes in Superior Court March 27. He faces 10 years in prison and a $20 fine for unlawfully having a firearm and one year and a $5,000 fine for harassment. Court documents say Kitsap deputies arrested him at 8:18 p.m. March 26 at SE Horstman Road. Officers responded at 5:36 p.m. after the dad said the suspect came to the home and threatened him. The dad was asked if he wanted to “fade,” a street term for fight. The dad told him to go away. His daughter told her dad to shut the door, and when he did she added to “get down.” Video ended so it doesn’t show a gun, but since the ex-boyfriend’s pants were substantially “sagging,” the deputy says it likely was a gun that he went for. Another camera shows the suspect with a black object in his pocket when he left.
Deputies used a public address system to try to coax the suspect into surrendering once they tracked him down, but he ran out of the back of the house into the woods. He was taken into custody after a K-9 track. Bullets were found in his vehicle, but no gun. Another report says another deputy worked with the suspect’s mom to talk with him via FaceTime video, but he hung up on him because he was disrespectful and lying.
After attempt to elude, K-9 finds suspect
A 43-year-old man was in Superior Court March 24 charged with attempting to elude police after being arrested on a warrant from Jan. 29, 2024.
Bail was $50,000. He faces five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
He was initially arrested by Bremerton police at 2:30 a.m. in the 1600 block of W. Admiralty Heights Lane in Bremerton, court records say. The suspect sped off after the officer tried to pull him over for a traffic violation. The driver jumped out of the car and abandoned it in an apartment complex. A K-9 led officers to one of the units. The suspect was recently arrested again on the warrant.
Inmate charged with assaulting another in jail
Bail was set at $250,000 for a 49-year-old Suquamish man charged in Superior Court March 26 with
assaulting another inmate in the county jail. He faces 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
Court papers show Kitsap deputies arrested him March 23 at 6:50 p.m.
A Corrections sergeant in the jail in Port Orchard was notified an inmate was “sucker punched,” and his face was bleeding. He was taken to a hospital for stitches for a 1-inch gash in his lip and a fractured nose. The victim said “he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.” It happened after he accidentally brushed shoulders against another inmate after getting medication. He sat on his bunk, while the other inmate punched him twice with his fist. The victim didn’t retaliate; he only went to get washed up.
Man who says he was scammed arrested for stealing dirt bike
A 56-year-old Bremerton man was in Superior Court March 24 charged with possession of a stolen vehicle.
Bail was $50,000. He faces 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
Court papers show Kitsap deputies arrested him at 9:17 p.m. in Seabeck. Witnesses saw a man get on a red Honda dirtbike and tried to drive it away.

Courtpaperssay Bremerton police arrested him March 24 at 9:05 p.m. at the 1500 block of Thompson Drive. The site manager at Bremerton Storage said his security cameras showed someone breaking into a camper trailer. He confronted the suspect, whochargedathimbutthen backed off when told he was armed.
After police were called, the suspect ran from the trailer and jumped over the 6-foot barbed-wire fence. He was detained soon after. The business has had other recent break-ins in vehicles and trailers.
Woman takes $50K in coins from couple
A 37-year-old woman was in Superior Court March 25 charged with burglary of $50,000 in coins. She faces 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
Court documents say Kitsap deputies were dispatched March 22 at 1:57 p.m. to the 4000 block of Chico Creek Lane. They were advised that a couple’s coin and stamp collection were stolen overnight. They were in a cabinet in the garage, but the lock was cut off. Over $50,000 in Morgan Silver Dollar coins were gone. She contacted local pawn shops to be on the lookout for them. Two days later a granddaughter
told her she found some of the money in her foster daughter’s trailer. She was told to return them so she put some coins in a cup, thinking none were the missing ones. But the victim found two of her coins in the cup.

He packed some things and left. She said he has her OK to use the car as long as he’s leaving. Her mom and her two kids were witnesses. He was only recently arrested.

Kingston showcases powerhouse offense in blowout win over Bainbridge
By Luke Caputo North Kitsap Herald
The Spartans’ young core could not help Bainbridge fastpitch get its first win of the season as they ran into an offensive powerhouse in Kingston, losing in blowout fashion at home 19-0 March 31.
Bainbridge currently has the youngest team in the Olympic League with six freshmen on the roster.
“I don’t think there’s another varsity team out there that has this many freshmen on their roster,” Bainbridge coach Jessica Bratonia said. “I think everyone in our infield except for our pitcher and catcher were freshmen.”
Spartan starting pitcher Rollins Anderson struggled in the top of the first inning, letting up five runs via a double by Buccaneer
center fielder Teegan Stanford, giving Kingston an early 2-0 lead. Shortstop Cadence Robles added to the first inning hit parade by getting a single, scoring another run for the Bucs.

“Ourgoalistowinleague,” Viking center fielder Blake Sohlberg said. “So every gamewe’retryingtowinand bringeverythingwegotevery game.”
Neither team could get much going in the first inning, with Viking starting pitcher Jack Nelson and TrojanstartingpitcherChase Beninger both slowing the offensesfromtheget-go.The Vikingsgottheirfirsthitofthe game after Nolan Rowe hit a singletocenterfieldinthetop

inning, making the score of the game 10-0. Anderson had totaled 76 pitches by the end of the inning. Meanwhile, Buc starting pitcher Summer Moore had confidence on the mound, only allowing two hits.
The pitching struggles continued for Bainbridge
as well after Anderson let up an Aadie Goller double and three singles in the top of the fourth, allowing Kingston to grow its lead even more
“If they [Bainbridge] hit the ball, I have strong fielding behind me,” Moore
said. “So you have to rely on them. I’m just very confident and stress-free with it.”

The Spartans continued to struggle getting hits, unable to turn up anything in the final half-inning of the game.

Facilities staff, in partnership with a local contractor, installed two temporary bolton patches to reduce water loss and restore heat to the gym. However, the repairs did not fully stop the leak, and the temporary patches are now beginning to fail. The damaged lines, estimated to be 20–30 years old and approximately 45 feet in length, are severely deteriorated and must be replaced immediately to prevent a complete failure of the heating system in the gym building, documents read.
“Given the immediate threat to essential operations and the potential for further property damage, this situation
qualifies as an ‘emergency’ under (school board policy)… which defines emergency as: ‘unforeseen circumstances beyond the district’s control that present a real, immediate threat to the proper performance of essential functions or will likely result in material loss or damage to property, bodily injury, or loss of life if immediate action is not taken.’”
In accordance with the policy, the business office has authorized an emergency repair contract with Swift Plumbing to procure and install new insulated steel heating lines. Additional follow-up work will include trench backfilling, sidewalk restoration, and repairs to the plumbing chase on the exterior of the music building’s boiler room wall.
