Welcome to this year’s Best of Central Kitsap annual readers’ choice awards edition.

The Best of Central Kitsap is a reflection of businesses and people in the many communities that make Central Kitsap so unique. Even though Silverdale is an unincorporated community in Kitsap, there are many businesses and people that choose to call Central Kitsap home. They choose to do business here and they choose to live here. These people have made Central Kitsap what it is today. Whatever your personal favorites in

Central Kitsap are, you will find more then 160 businesses, people and places featured in this year’s Best of CK edition, which says a lot for our wonderful community.

We encourage you to go out and find your new favorites that are listed within these pages and support your local businesses. Small, locally-owned businesses give back more to the commu-nity than you might think. They donate to local charities, PTA and much more. And, for every $1 spent at local businesses, 45 cents is reinvested

locally. Most importantly, local businesses value, respect and appreciate your patronage. Thank you to everyone who voted and congratulations to this year’s winners and finalists in the Best of Central Kitsap awards.

Enjoy,

Donna Etchey, Kitsap Regional Advertising Director for Sound Publishing

The Central Kitsap School District is embarking on the final leg of its journey to a wireless edu-cation. “We’ve been very excited about it. We’ve seen some very positive results in the schools,” said Mark Summers, director of informa-tion services for the Central Kitsap

School District. “Eventually, a student who has their own smartphone or iPad can come into the building and access resources from their own device while the y’re doing homework and school work.”

The purpose of the Wi-Fi project is to offer wireless connectivity in all buildings in the district, wether it be a school or an administration build-ing. Staff and students will then

be able to access the Internet from wherever they are. “We go through each of the buildings in the school district and we run network cabling into the locations on the ceiling or where we need to install wireless access points and connect it all to our net-work,” he said. “That gives a wireless device, with authority, to connect to the Internet from anywhere in the

IN THE REPORTER

John L. Scott Real Estate is announce this week that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the Kitsap County offices of Reid Real Estate, a well-regarded real estate brokerage firm that services Kitsap and Mason counties. Reid Real Estate has over 45 brokers in Kitsap County with offices in Silverdale, Bremerton and Port Orchard. The acquisition of Reid Real Estate comes in advance of the upcom-ing Kitsap County retirement of owner Jerry Reid. John L. Scott will now have the unique opportunity to expand and enhance its services in Kitsap County by adding the experience and local expertise of Reid Real Estate’s brokers to John L. Scott’s existing network of real estate professionals. The Reid Real Estate Silverdale and Port Orchard offices will be merged with John L. Scott’s existing offices in those cities. Reid Real Estate’s Bremerton office will be re-branded to John L. Scott Real Estate. Jerry will retain the Mason County Reid Real Estate office in Belfair.

“Jerry Reid set the standard for professional real estate service in Kitsap County and the real estate market would not be where it is today without his leadership for nearly 50 years,” said J. Lennox Scott, Chairman and CEO of John L. Scott.
