The National Weather Service has forecast record low temperatures across the region in the coming days. In addition to overnight sheltering at the Kitsap County Severe Weather Shelters, daytime Warming Centers will open Friday, January 12 through Sunday, January 14. The Warming Centers have been provided to a safe and inviting place for Kitsap residents to warm up when daytime temperatures remain below freezing.

These centers are provided by our community partners at Kitsap Regional Library, Bainbridge Island Senior Community Center, the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties, and the Salvation Army in Bremerton. The locations are found in the map below. Kitsap County Departments of Emergency Management and Human Services recognizes and values the contribution made by these community partners in providing this important service.

Kitsap Transit will waive fares for passengers needing bus rides to warming centers. If you need a ride to a warming center, Kitsap Transit’s buses may be an option for you, depending on how close you live to a bus stop. Please remember that Kitsap Regional Library branches are closed on Sundays.
