1st Trip To Bainbridge Island Then Over To The Viking Town Of Poulsbo

[@leisawolf7509]

I love Pegasus Coffee! I really appreciate your travel vlogs.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Pegasus was so cool

[@lindatambini9123]

Hi Scott all these places you go to look really lovely you would love the Scottish Highlands so beautiful safe travels take care ❤xxx

[@jerrodg938]

Scott that 🍞 was extra crunchy 🤣

[@StaticCamperVan]

[@anthonyvisor8880]

Great video!! Beautiful scenery of places that I have never been to.

[@tianikane3312]

Hi Scott. Another of your vids well done. Many thx. I like your close to the ground attitude, no rah rah. Love it. Keep on keeping on.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks Tiani

[@greeneyedggirl]

I too love bridges, we have that in common! Thanks for showing me parts of Washington I've not been to yet! When I met you last year in Sequim it was my first time to Washington, so now I've got so much more to look forward to! Thanks Scott!

[@StaticCamperVan]

You knew the area so well, I didn’t know you hadn’t been to Washington before. You’re welcome my friend

[@greeneyedggirl]

@@StaticCamperVan I am so blessed that I learn areas really quickly, so even when I go to places for the very first time I often seem like I know places really well. Part of that comes from studying maps and such before I travel to places too. It pays off really well. I like to be prepared so that I can spend more time enjoying the places I go-to instead of learning about them when I get there! Plus I watch a lot of excellent youtube channels like yours to learn about places to explore! Thank you so much! Years ago, before I started Vanlife, I went to house sit for a friend in Tucson, AZ. It was my first time there and she was amazed and confused by how well I knew a place I'd never been to before as well. I'm now am really looking forward to getting back to the PNW and exploring many of the places you have shared that I've not been to yet! Again, thank you so much!!!

[@barbaragamache2751]

Your humor amuses me so much!!!😂😂😂

[@loraharris2937]

One of the very first times I saw your channel you talked about Starbucks on Capital Hill. I had never been there but seeing you today, reminded me of the Starbucks in in Japan. It has a five hour wait list. Now why you reminded me of this story I’m not sure? Maybe it’s because I grew up on the peninsula and I love it. I type very slow but would love to chat. My husband and I visit that area often. We have a daughter and two grandchildren who lives in Richland Beach, the north end of Seattle. We are 72 and our daughter is 51. I do remember you building the van. Go to the Casino off the bridge you can park there, you don’t have to gamble. Move on to Squamish

[@StaticCamperVan]

I bet the Japanese Starbucks is just as fancy as the Capital Hill location. Thanks for the message.

[@seanh4841]

I'm having fun making a 3 bean salad whilst I prep my van for a week working on Waiheke Island which lies off the Auckland New Zealand east coast

[@StaticCamperVan]

Hope you’re staying warm

[@seanh4841]

Never noticed the ceiling stains, your vlogs are much more interesting

[@ingope]

What an amazing area where you are. 😮 love your coffee talks/thoughts a lot. Thanks for this.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks Ingo

[@HopeU2Rwell]

Connoisseur of coffee, Perhaps you could review all the coffee shops in the regions that you visit?

[@StaticCamperVan]

Yes, I will try and include visits to coffee shops. Although usually, they will be a part of a vlog of my day. Much like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDcnmBrnLV0rbc

Aww, thanks Katrina

[@buddycollier5056]

I have enjoyed the ferry ride there several times. So glad you visited Bainbridge. I’d move there if I had more money. There is (was?) a yarn shop there that I enjoyed.

[@priscillafuentes8663]

Beautiful places, once more. I like, how you said," don't remind me. About the water spots." That crunch, from the bread, sounded like it was perfectly toasted. Your burrito, looked good. Happy trails, take care.😊

[@Texasoma]

Real quick here I’ll make this quick…I really enjoyed..and now I’m hungry…but I want some beans…FYI.. I found YELLOW BIRD. Here in TEXAS @ WALMART..delicious..thanks for making me a fan.. today’s temp here 91.. love it

[@StaticCamperVan]

Hooray for Yellowbird! Boo for 91°!

[@desertgirl1392]

Florence Oregon very close to same temps as Port Townsend. Hopefully the wind isn't as bad as Florence!

[@millie8399]

Thanks for sharing these lovely places! Its always a treat to watch your videos with a good cup of coffee 🌻

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks Millie

[@danaharris5446]

I love good sour dough bread. I watch you at night and you make me so hungry, especially your burritos. Then I want coffee. Enjoyed the video❤️

[@StaticCamperVan]

I’m about to make a burrito right now

[@ChippiSweet]

I am living vicariously through your videos. Those towns and the island are magnificent! Hope you change your tire very soon ….

[@StaticCamperVan]

The tire is now fixed! Thank you

[@seanh4841]

Very pleasant surroundings

[@DanC1011]

Welcome to Washington State. You’re hitting all the spots that I myself have yet to venture to. I enjoy your travel videos of all the spots you’ve hit along the west coast. Loved the “making a quick burrito really quick” comment. Lol

[@vandafedyszyn4612]

Another great video Scott, you find lovely places, take care hugs from the uk 😊

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks Vanda. There are a lot of pretty places around here

[@iancampbell5998]

Hi Scott I have been enjoying your van life from here in Normandy, France

[@davemenard5089]

Simply enjoying life is actually kinda hard but you’re making it look easy. It’s good for me. Thanks

[@Lisa-16]

Such lovely areas to visit! 😍 And of course now I want coffee and to go for a walk along the water. Thanks for another fun video.

[@StaticCamperVan]

It’s a great area. Maybe not as nice as your backyard though. But don’t tell anyone I said that.

[@Lisa-16]

@Static CamperVan Yes. I live in such a beautiful area. 😍 We just got back from a little camping trip to Central Oregon below Bend. It was very pretty too with the rock formations and some amazing clouds and thunderstorms. Our next trip won't be quite so far.

[@stebishopnomad1838]

Enjoy your grilled cheese sandwich Scott. Really enjoying these videos by the way.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thank you

[@jeanieirwin4747]

Scott you have a good narrative. So natural and easy. Seems as though you have a gift in that area. While your most learned of the Seattle area would love to have you introduce some other cities. Salt Lake City Utah,Topeka Kansas,and Helena Montana? ❤

[@StaticCamperVan]

Unfortunately, until my van gets a new engine, mountain driving isn’t an option

[@jeanieirwin4747]

Sorry to hear that. An engine replacement is a set back. Hang in there. You will overcome this issue.

[@pattichambley2779]

Love local sourdough

[@janerikbrownberge2306]

In 1886, Iver Brynildsen Moe, one of the early Norwegian settlers, suggested that the community should have a post office. Moe suggested the town be named "Paulsbo", his hometown in Halden, Norway.

[@everydroppressurewashingse8774]

Port Townsend is great very close to my hometown Whidbey island. Very cool👍

[@Usepen]

Have you been to Anacortes/Friday Harbor? I love that area. American Camp National Park is worth the trip to San Juan Island.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Yes, a few years back.

[@Usepen]

Oh I meant to say South Beach/Cattle Point Lighthouse on San Juan Island. 🤗 So jealous of where you are right now.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Haven’t been out to the islands yet. I want to. I’ve heard so many great things

[@SeattleBlythe]

Another well-done video! You featured all three of my favorite destinations. Sometimes I do a 'walk-on' for the ferry and take it to Winslow, Bainbridge Island.

[@patricewiedemann6695]

What a beautiful walking tour - I enjoyed every moment of it! Sorry the price of coffee keeps getting higher. That Mexican coffee you chose looked really yummy! 👍

[@Jane-ey3sl]

I never noticed the cork ceiling. 🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌 Cork is a good idea. I never saw a build with cork. 🚐 Thanks for cheering me up a bit today. 🙂 I too had so many nails in tires and then stopped driving around new construction sites which seemed to help. 🔨

[@jrraven3230]

Seattle has great sourdough😊

[@cfconant]

that was a 7.0 on the richter scale when you bit into that sandwich!

[@StaticCamperVan]

To be clear, that sound was the bread and not my teeth

[@mohamedouarsafi3923]

Hi Scott- Another excellent vlog. that Sourdough bread with white cheddar and egg and the hot sauce looks so lovely. You just made me hungry at 10:00pm. Love your show. Have a great w/e in Seattle!

[@dieseltherapy59]

WOW Your egg sammich looked so good I decided to make myself one! I didn’t have sourdough so I used a tortilla, no eggs so I used refried beans and chicken. My burrito was almost as good as your sammich looked!

[@LeeRon69]

Thanks for another lovely video.

Thanks darkness my old friend

[@rachelm4066]

I really enjoyed this video, thank you! I went to Port Townsend with a friend of mine a couple of years ago and I am here to tell you, the people there are so friendly! We went there because there is a well know sea glass beach and I do love sea glass, but I love agates more. I did find some sea glass but no agates. On day two I went to a thrift shop and the proprietor was asking all about my travels (so much nicer than where I live) and I told her I found some sea glass but I didn't find any agates. She proceeded to give me a ziplock bag full of agates! I could not have been more pleased :-) Anyway, I enjoy your content because it calms me and makes me feel good. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see where life takes you next. Be well!

[@StaticCamperVan]

What a nice story. So nice to hear! Thank you

[@oliviadresher7251]

I love your videos! I live in Seattle, so I was familiar with all the places you visited. But I haven't been there in a long time. I travel with you, and I find that your videos are relaxing to watch. Thank you for your wonderful words on your travel life. (By the way, the weather constantly changes around here. It has been raining in Seattle for the last few days, after a warm spell.)

You had a recent live chat and I told you about Dunn Brothers coffee (again, no relation). In the past... I have only had dark roast. But on your ranting about the goodness of light roast... I bought a bag of medium roast (Seattles Best; beans). Wow! I'm surprised at the depth of flavor. Thanks!

[@StaticCamperVan]

I’m happy to hear that

[@BlueskyLouAnn]

Nice video. It had a bit of cooking, highlighted coffee shops and scenery well and had some humor and driving tips as well.

Cool. I actually bought the bread at the Coop. But I’ve been to the Uptown location. I first discovered the bread at the Sequim location.

[@webbtrekker534]

That little bridge you drove over to get onto Bainbridge Island is the Agate Pass Bridge. You passed with in a few miles of Chief Seattle's Grave. You should have stopped and had a visit. The Hood Canal bridge opens mainly to let Navy submarines in and out from their base in Bangor. You can stop into any Les Schwab Tire Store and say your have a tire going flat and they will fix it, if it can be fixed, for free.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Discount Tire took care of the puncture

[@cotter9751]

This is fortuitous.... I just started planning a long weekend that i hope will include Bainbridge and Poulsbo... lots of useful nuggets here. While coffee doesn't interest me, your cooking always does! Did you use the Anasazi beans you'd mentioned before?

[@StaticCamperVan]

Yes, those were a fresh batch of Anasazi beans

[@pokergypsy55]

I think you posted about yellowbird and the price difference at Walmart compared to another more expensive store. I was just looking at two bottles of habanero flavor. The Walmart one says hot sauce and is not organic. The small bottle that I got from Amazon says condiment and is organic. So looks like they are making two versions. I don't have two bottles of other flavors to compare. But could that be the reason for the price difference??

[@StaticCamperVan]

Yes, Yellowbird makes both a conventional and organic version of most of their sauces. The organic is a little more money. But both of the sauces in the pictures are not organic. I’m happy to see more stores selling Yellowbird but I rarely shop at Walmart. Walmart is usually more expensive than where I normally shop. But apparently in the case of Yellowbird, it is a little less.

[@mikem3695]

I took the ferry from Seattle to the island. It was worth the fee. Back when i was there i was into craft beer like you're into coffee and really enjoyed Bainbridge Island Brewing.
