BREMERTON
The Port of Bremerton will formally dedicate its new Harborside
Steps on the downtown Bremerton waterfront on Saturday.
U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Belfair, will be among those delivering
remarks during the brief event slated to begin at 2:45 p.m. at the
steps, which start at Washington Avenue and Burwell Street.
Dicks was instrumental in getting a $392,000 federal grant to build
the steps, which open public access to the Bremerton Boardwalk and
Bremerton Marina. They feature a view of Sinclair Inlet, and
landings, tables and chairs for pedestrians. Landscaping includes
exotic, mature trees and carved granite boulders.
Refreshments will be served. The dedication will happen during the
Bremerton Boat Show, which takes place all weekend at the Bremerton
Marina. More information on the boat show is at
