The (unique) island life is calling – Bainbridge Island
Scenic

Island

Bainbridge Island is a little different than your typical island experience. Snow-capped mountain vistas, verdant forest trails, and the Seattle skyline are among the unique details associated with this lovely community.
Set in the Puget Sound, this island city is bathed in beauty from its cool downtown district to its artisanal wineries, museums, and green spaces. The locals adore the island life, its natural landscapes, and top-notch amenities. To travel to Seattle, the ferry is what you’ll take. It makes multiple trips a day from Winslow, and is about a 35-minute ride into Colman Dock.
There’s quite a bit of shopping, dining, and opportunities to get active for residents on the island. The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art houses collections created by local artists, and it’s in walking distance of gourmet waterfront eateries as well as Eleven Winery’s tasting room in Winslow. Other business areas within the island include Lynnwood Center, Fletcher Bay, and Rolling Bay.
Route 305 is the main thoroughfare on the island – Agate Passage Bridge is how you get in and out aside from the ferry. Locals enjoy the many perks of this scenic island, and they also enjoy sports. After all, pickleball (think of it as if tennis and badminton were joined in matrimony) was invented here. Boating is also extremely popular.
