The Kitsap Sun, Kitsap County’s only local daily newspaper, began publication in 1935 with the stated purpose of serving the community. That mission has neither waivered nor changed, though the means of doing so has evolved from a single newspaper to a family of print and digital media. Local businesses have long relied on Kitsap Sun display, classified, preprint and online advertising to reach their current and potential customers. It works, and it starts by identifying your marketing needs. Ad design. Budgeting. Scheduling, and follow-up. And all are done with your unique needs in mind.  It’s what we do to grow your business.
