SBRR workshops are provided by members of the Washington state Small Business Liaison Team (SBLT). The workshops were started in 2019 by three Washington state agencies, the departments of Employment Security, Revenue, and Labor & Industries.

These workshops provide helpful information around the regulatory relationship with the government and requirements that businesses can use to save unwarranted penalties, and teach best practices, bottom line cost-saving programs, business solutions, consulting services, and more.

Many of the webinars are pre-recorded so you can watch at your convenience.

Roundabout Tips

Courtesy of: Kitsap County Public Works

Roundabouts continue to be constructed throughout Kitsap County, significantly improving the safety of intersections.

The use of roundabouts results in fewer conflict points, reduces the speed of motorists and helps avoid more severe collisions. Here are some safety tips when using roundabouts:

• Slow down as you approach the intersection.
• Watch for pedestrians and bicycles as you enter and exit the roundabout.
• Watch for signs and pavement markings that guide or prohibit certain movements.
• Yield to vehicles already in the roundabout. Enter the roundabout when there is a large enough gap in circulating traffic.
• Drive in a counterclockwise direction. Do not stop or pass other vehicles.
• Use turn signals when changing lanes or exiting the roundabout.
• If you miss your exit, continue around until you return to your exit.
