ABOUT POBSA

The Port Orchard Bay Street Association has been supporting downtown businesses for over 15 years. POBSA is a powerful voice for our community, and for the future of downtown Port Orchard.  The mission of POBSA is to encourage a strong local economy and quality of life by supporting community events, sponsoring business-related activities, and improving the local aesthetics, while encouraging tourism.

The board of directors is elected each year from the general membership.

The 2022 board is:

Coreen Hadock, President – Waterman Investment Partners, The Dock Bar & Eatery

Meetings are held on the third Thursday each month at Peninsula BevCo starting at 8:45 am, and generally runs for one hour.  Email if you would like more information.

Membership is voting (full membership at $90 annually) or non-voting (supporting membership at $45 annually), due at the end of each year. Membership is prorated, if you newly join during the year. It’s not essential to have a storefront in downtown Port Orchard to be a member. You only need to care about the future of our community and want to participate in helping to enhance and promote downtown.  You do not have to be a bricks and mortar business in downtown Port Orchard to belong — you only need to care about Port Orchard and want to be involved in the community.  Click here for the membership application.  You can either apply and pay on line or you can print out and send a check to PO Box 8581, Port Orchard, WA  98366 (or bring it with you to our next meeting!)
