School Vaccine Clinics + New Cookie Store + Biennial Budgeting

Welcome back, Gig Harbor!

This Thursday's digest is loaded with updates from the city, council and Peninsula School District. From the school district, we have an update on a series of vaccine clinics at PSD Middle Schools, plus an opportunity to tour the brand new Swift Water Elementary, which just opened earlier this year.

Meanwhile, the county has given us some info on the 2022-23 biennial budgeting process, plus a quick look at the upcoming general election.

I've also got a sports story from the Kitsap Sun which features an appearance by Gig Harbor girls soccer, and I also wrote up something about a new cookie store (is bakery a more appropriate word? I should've said bakery) opening in Gig Harbor this Friday. My boss was very excited about that one, I suspect she likes cookies.

So, here we are:

First, today's weather:

A couple of afternoon showers. High: 64 Low: 52.
