Designating the State Route Number 3 overpass at the junction of Chico Way NW in Bremerton as the Joe Mentor memorial overpass.
SJM 8009 is a commemorative resolution designating the State Route 3 overpass at Chico Way NW in Bremerton as the "Joe Mentor memorial overpass." It honors Joe Mentor, a former Washington State Representative (1968-1972), longtime Kitsap County real estate developer, community leader, and active volunteer who served local organizations including Kitsap Transit and the Kitsap County Home Builders Association. The resolution requests the Washington State Transportation Commission to formally adopt this naming to recognize his decades of public service and contributions to Kitsap County. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new policies or affect regulations.
