Starbucks is continuing its
shift to more driver-friendly stores in Kitsap with a proposal for
a new location on Highway 305 in Poulsbo.
The city received a
permit application earlier this month for a 2,000-square-foot
Starbucks coffee shop with
drive-thru and 4,000-square-foot Sherwin-Williams paint store
on a
site adjacent to CVS, just north of Hostmark Street.

A site layout submitted to the city shows two standalone buildings. The Starbucks would be on the west side of the site, closest to the highway. The paint store would be situated on the east side. The drive-thru lanes would separate the buildings.
The applicant is PacLand Seattle, which has developed a number of retail centers in Washington and Oregon.
Starbucks has been busy in Kitsap of late. The Seattle coffee giant recently added stores with drive-thrus in Silverdale, Kingston and Poulsbo’s College Marketplace.
Starbucks relocated stores to the new buildings in Silverdale and College Marketplace. The proposed Highway 305 shop seems well positioned to replace the existing Starbucks in Poulsbo Village, near the recently-abandoned Albertsons.
Sherwin-Williams has outlets in Silverdale and Port Orchard. The company came close to placing a store in College Marketplace in 2011, but the deal was stalled by development restrictions negotiated by Walmart and Home Depot, according to court documents filed in a related lawsuit.
