A few moments that are captured in this batch of 1978 negative scans from the archives of Bremerton Sun photographers:
- Could these images of the “Annual Hay fever Convention” be the Scotch Broom Festival on Bainbridge Island?
- Very empty shelves at an Albertsons.
- Boeing Hydrofoil Demos.
- Fireworks…and in black and white film fireworks just don’t have the same “oooh ahhhh” factor.
- A floating house on the move.
- The Armed Forces Day Queen is crowned.
- Quite a few accidents in this last few batches of scans- car vs. pedestrian, car vs. motorcycle and car vs car…1978 seems to be the year of the auto accident.
Remember, the only information I have on these images is what is written on the negatives sleeve which is then typed in beneath the photos seen below.

***I also feel the need to put small plea on this post because of some slightly unscrupulous re-postings – if you are going to share these photos around social media and what not (which is totally fine) PLEASE credit the Kitsap Sun. These are our old but still copyrighted images and it is important to note that they are credited to us. ***
