Apartments for Rent in Winslow - Bainbridge Island

When Brainbridge Island was first settled, it was named for a local shipbuilder by the name of Winslow Hall. In 1991, the City of Winslow annexed the entire island and became the City of Brainbridge Island. The downtown neighborhood is still called Winslow. Many Winslow residents rent apartments and enjoy access to a variety of shops and restaurants, especially along Winslow Way. This main street is home to popular places like Blackbird Bakery, Island Vintners, and Mora Iced Creamery. This area also offers museums, theaters, and art galleries, including the Brainbridge Island Historical Museum and the Brainbridge Performing Arts Center.

Residents of Winslow head to the Brainbridge Island Ferry Terminal to catch the ferry to Seattle, located directly across the bay. The journey takes about an hour -- well worth it to visit the Space Needle, Olympic Sculpture Park, the Paramount Theater, and CenturyLink Field -- home of the beloved NFL Seattle Seahawks. Life on an island is, of course, all about the water, and several marinas, piers, parks, and wharfs dot the shoreline.
