Cool It Keyport, Poulsbo!

July 11th, 2007 by Derek Sheppard

EDIT: Here’s a photo of the thermometer in my office today. Read the last part of this post if it’s like that at your grandma’s house, and she doesn’t have air conditioning.

Hot enough for ya? Isn’t that a lame question?

I think you know the answer to that first question.

It’s now just after 4 p.m. Wednesday. About as hot as it’ll get all day, so I decided to use weather.com to see how sweltering it says parts of North Kitsap got today.

Hansville, you’re downright chilly. Poulsbo and Keyport win special accolades today for being the hottest North Kitsap destinations. I’ve made you an imaginary, totally arbitrary award called the “Sweaty.” Congratulations!

Here are the results, according to the all-knowing Internet:

Hansville:
Temperature: 95
Feels like: 93

Kingston:
Temperature: 97
Feels like: 95

Suquamish:
Temperature: 97
Feels like: 95

Keyport:
Temperature: 101
Feels like: 99

Poulsbo:
Temperature: 101
Feels like: 99

My root beer:
Temperature: Frosty.
Feels like: I need another.

Good luck keeping cool!

On a serious note, if you’re in the Poulsbo area (or if you have relatives or friends in the area, especially if they’re elderly) and don’t have AC, the Poulsbo Fire Department (Just across from Poulsbo Village along Highway 305) is set up as a “cooling station” today and tomorrow. They’ll have water and juice, but you should bring something to keep you entertained if you plan on staying a while.
