The Bainbridge Island
shop turns reclaimed wood from the island into lumber and
high-end furniture at its headquarters on Day Road.
This spring, customers will also be able to find Coyote
Woodshop’s work downtown.
Coyote Woodshop has opened a pop-up showroom at 563 Madison
Avenue N., just north of Wyatt Way. The store will be open 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays in March and April.
The shop will also participate in First Friday Art Walks and be
available to show furniture by appointment.
The board announced Monday it would stop taking applications at
the end of March.
As of Tuesday, 37 retail applications were pending in
Kitsap (see map above). The state will allow
20 total retail outlets in the county. Eleven licenses have
already been issued, leaving nine to dole out.
Here’s a breakdown of applications and license allotments by
jurisdiction:
Applications are being processed under three priority tiers,
according to a Liquor and Cannabis Board release:
Priority 1: Applicants who applied for a
marijuana retail license prior to July 1, 2014, operated (or were
employed by) a collective garden prior to January 1, 2013, have
maintained a state and local business license and have a history of
paying state taxes and fees.
Priority 2: Applicants who operated (or were
employed by) a collective garden prior to January 1, 2013, have
maintained a state and local business license and have a history of
paying state taxes and fees.
Priority 3: applicants are those who do not
meet priority 1 or 2 criteria.
Since October, the board has
received 162 priority 1 applications, 63 priority 2
applications and 879 priority 3 applications with 166 still
awaiting prioritization, according to the release.
I corrected the license allocation graphic in
this post to reflect a second Bainbridge Island application. Both
island applications are for the same Miller Bay Road
address.
The property: A 4.3-acre vacant parcel at
the corner of Bucklin Hill Road and Ridge Lane.
It’s next door to the American Legion hall and across from
Hyla Middle School.
The proposal: The project would create two
buildings, each about 1,800 square feet.
One building (pictured above) would be a teaching
barn to provide training for students and
assistance dogs. The other building would house an
instructor/caretaker and two students.
Lawns, a courtyard and parking lot are also planned. The
development would be tucked in the northwest corner of the
property, with access from Ridge Lane (not Bucklin).
Next steps: The proposal is in the
pre-application phase. A
public participation meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m., March 1
at Waterfront Park Community Center, 370 Brien Drive.
Hitchcock owner and chef Brendan McGill announced on Facebook
that his pizzeria popup Bruciato
will open as a standalone restaurant in the old hardware this
summer:
With full hearts and tremendous gratitude, allow us to introduce
our new home in the heart of Winslow Way. That's…
The 6,350-square-foot hardware had been owned by Storyville Coffee, which for years
teased islanders with promises of a café “coming soon.”
Storyville sold the property to California developer Joseph
Lacko for $1.73 million this winter. Lacko planned to subdivide the
space and bring on two tenants.

“Poised on 162’ of south-facing low bank waterfront, this
stunning Hal Moldstad design is classic Northwest style at its

its landscape.”
Roosters will be replaced on Bjune by Cups Espresso Café, which opened
its first shop on Poulsbo’s Front Street in 2012. Cups owners hope
to open on Bainbridge by mid-February.
Business at Cups in Poulsbo has grown 60 percent in the
past three years, according to a news
release. Owners Wanda and Sean
Winker were looking for an opportunity to launch a
second shop on the island.
“We’re excited to expand our
operations to Bainbridge Island,” Wanda Winker said in the
release.
“We have lived on Bainbridge more
than six-years and it has been our goal to find the ideal location
to serve our community with the same success we’ve had in
Poulsbo.”
The Bainbridge Cups will offer the same selection of
food and beverages as its Poulsbo counterpart, including Caffé
Umbria espresso, beer, wine, pastries, quiche, strata, and
sandwiches. Catering will be available.
Plans filed with the city
show preliminary designs for the future Virginia Mason clinic on
Bainbridge Island.
The 30,000-square-foot medical center will be built at
Wintergreen Walk, a High School Road shopping center being
developed by Visconsi Companies of Ohio.
Visconsi proposed a site plan amendment for Wintergreen Walk to
accommodate the clinic. A required
public participation meeting was scheduled for
Monday evening.
Revised site plan. Click to
enlarge.
The proposed revision would replace a 20,000-square-foot medical
building in the original plan with the
30,000-square-foot clinic.
The footprint of another building planned on the site will
shrink from 7,200 square feet to 4,800 square feet to allow for
more clinic parking.
The architectural design will be similar to other buildings
approved for the development, according to a project
description submitted by Wenzlau Architects of
Bainbridge:
“The main façade which faces
south is visually split into two masses with a large central glass
area. The building design incorporates pitched roofs and a covered
entry roof. Building materials are consistent with other buildings
in the project site.
“The exterior materials include;
concrete masonry units, vertical metal siding, cement board infill
panels, asphalt at pitched roofs, storefront windows, exposed wood
braces, sunscreens soffits to maintain a rural utilitarian
spirit.”
A total of seven buildings are planned for the development.
A Key Bank branch and Walgreens pharmacy
opened there in November.
See more Wintergreen Walk clinic plans below (images above are
from plans submitted to city and posted online):
Two businesses are ready to open in Wintergreen
Walk, a new High School Road shopping center
that stirred controversy on Bainbridge island.
A 14,500-square-foot Walgreens pharmacy will
debut at 8 a.m. Friday. A 3,300-square-foot Key Bank
branch opens at 9 a.m. Monday.
Wintergreen Walk encompasses eight acres on the northeast corner
of Highway 305 and High School Road.
Key Bank, which was
previously located behind McDonald’s on the south side of High
School Road, now occupies a prominent place above the
intersection.
Walgreens is tucked behind. Both buildings feature drive
thrus.
Key Bank Manager Jon Phelps said the new branch shows the bank’s
commitment to the Bainbridge.
“We didn’t want to be one of the banks that pulled up roots and
moved off the island,” he said. “We’re here to stay.”
Wintergreen Walk is being constructed in phases, and
could eventually offer
60,000 square feet of leasable space for restaurants,
retail and medical offices, spread across seven buildings.
Islanders held protests on street corners, decrying what they
saw as unnecessary suburban sprawl. In August 2014 a teenaged
protestor climbed 70 feet into a Douglas fir and camped for 40
hours to
draw attention to the development plans.
In the end, the trees came down and construction moved ahead.
The city issued the first building permits in March.
Some of those new stores quickly climbed the ranks of top
grossing marijuana businesses in the county.
Here’s a look at the top five recreational
marijuana stores in Kitsap County in September, based on total
sales reported:
HWY 420, Bremerton — $305,616
Crock Pot, Port Orchard — $254,148
Paper & Leaf, Bainbridge Island — $243,724*
Greenway, Port Orchard — $164,788
Pacific Cannabis Company, Bremerton — $161,890*
(* Opened in June 2015 or later.)
Sales reported by legal marijuana
businesses are actually available
for public inspection, for anyone who wants to
spend a lot of time staring at Excel spreadsheets.
Patients can now
consult with Virginia
Mason health professionals face-to-face without leaving
home.
The Seattle-based medical group announced the launch of a
“virtual
care clinic” Wednesday that links providers with patients via
video-conferencing. The service is available to both existing and
new Virginia Mason patients,
according to a news release.
Providers can diagnose ailments, recommend courses of treatment
and prescribe medications through the virtual clinic. The cost is
$35.
Most insurance plans don’t cover virtual care,
though that’s beginning to change. Virginia Mason’s online
clinic is not available to Medicaid or Medicare clients.
Virginia Mason joins a growing number of health care
groups offering virtual care and telemedicine. CHI Franciscan
Health, parent company of Harrison Medical Center,
recently opened its
virtual urgent care portal to Kitsap County
patients.
Plans filed with the city
show preliminary designs for the future 
Key Bank, which was
previously located behind McDonald’s on the south side of High
School Road, now occupies a prominent place above the
intersection.
