Olalla Bay Market, a cornerstone of our community in Kitsap, WA, USA since before statehood, is under threat due to a recent setback rule enacted by Kitsap County.

This rule demands a 20-foot setback from the road that effectively eliminates half of the market's parking spaces, making impossible for OBM to meet the code requirement as a restaurant in our zoned rural commercial designation. 

We believe this application of the law completely disregards the historical significance and unique circumstances surrounding the site and its use for more than 130 years.

We are calling on Kitsap County commissioners and state officials to provide relief from this ruling by recognizing the store's historic use.

Please sign this petition urging our elected representatives to seek solutions and help save Olalla Bay Market.
