Welcome New Member!

B's Bagels began in 2021 as a dream by owner, Brittany Erwin, to bring East Coast style bagels to Washington State. After working as a chef in Tacoma for 5 years, and ready to open her own place, she decided to work on ending the bagel drought in the South Sound. B's Bagels officially opened after much anticipation in March of 2023. Happy 1 year anniversary to B's Bagels!

News & Opportunities

Mustard Seed Project of Key Peninsula Seeking Volutneers!

The next volunteer interest meeting is on Thursday, March 14 from 3-4 PM at the Mustard Seed's Crandall Center! They will be going over ways to get involved in the project and it'll be a time for folks to ask questions.

Volunteering is a fantastic way to make a huge difference in the lives of seniors on the KP. If you're unfamiliar with TMSP, they are a nonprofit focused on providing resources so seniors can age in place safely and our mission is to create an elder-friendly Key Peninsula. We provide free transportation, enrichment activities, nutrition, and more at our campus in Key Center, just up the hill from the Fire Station! For more info contact Madysen McLain at volunteers@themustardseedproject.org.
