🎓As we continue celebrating World Youth Skills Day, we’re proud to look back at a major milestone. In May, our very first cohort of Bayside Skill Center Culinary students graduated!

With dedication, resilience, and creativity, these students completed a hybrid program that combined Rouxbe’s online training with in-person mentorship from Spirits Bar & Grill’s Executive Chef Troy Murrell.

They leave with more than just skills: they carry confidence, experience, and the readiness to take on real opportunities in the food service industry.

We talk a lot about getting heads in beds at Bayside - but here's your chance to put your head on a bed and have it make a huge difference!

You've likely seen this iconic home here in Port Townsend - the historic Starret House. This is now a Bayside property that is a B&B!

You can support Bayside and our mission by reserving a night at this local bed and breakfast, hosting a special event here, or even attending our upcoming brunches and high teas that are soon to be available.

Every dollar earned helps go right back to supporting Bayside Housing and Services - so you can feel good about having a great time and helping a great cause!
