Bremerton’s first snow this fall blanketed our peninsulas and all of Western Washington and Oregon. It closed down many school districts and undoubtedly led to more than a few snowball fights.

I walked the bridge-to-bridge trail this morning to survey the scene. Here’s my photos from the trek. Do you have a photo you’d like to share in your neck of the woods? Send them to me at josh.farley@kitsapsun.com.

The surprise snowfall that blanketed Bremerton and Kitsap County made for a picturesque Sunday, and many of our local resident photographers did not disappoint. After all, there was plenty of sledding, snowmen and snowball fights to document.

I took to the hills of East Bremerton for some early morning pictures, most of which were taken before the snow revelers were out. But my Facebook page quickly filled up with some great action shots. Here, I will share a few.

First, I must share the dragon, captured on a Kitsap Sun delivery run by Gina Christman Singer:
