Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Navy completes $517 million Drydock 4 modernization at Puget Sound shipyard (workboat.com) — A $517 million seismic and modernization upgrade to Drydock 4 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton is now complete, restoring key capacity for Navy ship work in town. Crews added massive anchors, strengthened quay walls, and cleared old keel blocks, all part of a broader multibillion‑dollar plan that could bring a new carrier-capable drydock and more construction jobs to Bremerton in coming years.
2. Bremerton football looking to continue playoff streak in '26 (kitsapsun.com) — Bremerton High's football team is gearing up for a fresh start this fall, with three straight home games and hopes of extending its playoff streak despite last year's 3-7 record. Players and longtime coach Paul Theriault say locker-room chemistry has improved, a new passing coordinator is in place, and key seniors are ready to power the Knights' Wing-T offense. Here's the full 2026 schedule and who to watch.
3. Navy Sailors Moving In to Remodeled Barracks Part of $12 Million Renovation Project (military.com) — Sailors at Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton are starting to move into a fully renovated 10-story barracks, part of a $12.1 million overhaul adding 304 beds and new lounges, gaming rooms, and wellness spaces. The project supports the Navy's push to get sailors off ships and into safer, more comfortable housing, with work finished ahead of schedule after earlier fire and water damage.
4. SNAFUBAR: USS Pueblo - Part 1: The Clunker (khsu.org) — A new SNAFUBAR podcast series traces the troubled history of the USS Pueblo, including its early overhaul and departure from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton before its 1968 capture by North Korea. Through extensive interviews with crewman John Mitchell, the episode details the ship's underfunded repairs, bureaucratic snafus, and dangerous mechanical failures that began in Bremerton and continued across the Pacific. Listeners also get context on oral history and how veterans' stories are preserved today.
