• Revival of Sunday bus service exceeds projections (ptleader.com) — Sunday bus service in Jefferson County is back and already exceeding ridership projections, and that matters for Kingston residents who rely on cross-county travel. The expanded schedule improves weekend access to shopping, jobs, religious services, and connections to Poulsbo, Sequim, Kingston, and Washington State Ferries, with officials calling the change both popular and life-changing for some riders. 
• Bainbridge two-way talent Thompson named baseball player of the year (kitsapsun.com) — Kingston High baseball players Tristan Scott, Vaka Tameilau, and Christian Venneman earned all-league and sportsmanship recognition in this year’s Olympic League 2A awards, standing out among Kitsap and Olympic Peninsula teams.
