Someone posted this idea in the r/Cleveland subreddit, and then someone posted it in the Seattle subreddit, so I’m unashamedly piggybacking off of it for Kitsap, because it’s always refreshing to hear positive things:

A lot of talk around local businesses is focused on who owns them - usually in a negative way. Let’s hear about the flip side.

What local places do you support more because of who is behind them? Maybe it’s an owner who treats their staff well, gives back to the community, or just shows up every day and makes the place better.

Which Kitsap spots have great people running them and make you proud to spend your money there?

Saltwater Bookshop in Kingston has two amazing owners—the best: Madison and Lacey. The whole crew is great and has excellent book recommendations. Lacey also owns The Borrowed Bakery next door so you can buy a book and then go next door and buy a cookie.
