A national pet store chain has sniffed out a location in Port Orchard.
City planners are reviewing permit applications for a 11,500-square foot Petco at the southwest corner of Vallair Court and Bethel Road.

The applicant is PacLand, a development firm with offices in Seattle.
The pet store and parking lot would occupy two vacant parcels owned by Seattle-based Port Orchard Retail, LLC.
The property is located across Vallair from Taco Time (see inset image). Customers would access the store from Vallair.
The city issued a mitigated determination of non-significance for the project and will take comments on environmental concerns through Friday. The full notice is posted below.
Petco has stores in Bremerton and Poulsbo.
Welcome to PO Petco!
