The Bremerton Sun, first published in 1935, was so named to compete with the "Seattle Star" directly across Puget Sound. Four years later, the Sun's circulation surpassed that of its competitor. In 1940, John P. Scripps Newspaper Group obtained control of the newspaper. When it merged with The E.W. Scripps Company in 1986, the paper was renamed The Sun. In 2005, the newspaper was renamed the Kitsap Sun. It has received numerous awards from local organizations and charities, and sponsors a variety of community festivals. Both the photography and editorial teams have won awards for their excellence.
