From the moment you first arrive on Bainbridge, you realize our island is an exceptional place. Glimpses of unrivaled natural beauty span the island; from mountains, forests, open spaces, parks and trails to the glistening waters of the Puget Sound. That natural beauty is complemented by a growing and diverse business community, superb dining and entertainment, nationally acclaimed schools, world-class art, and a host of recreational opportunities which all contribute to Bainbridge’s reputation and enduring appeal.
Ultimately though, it is the island’s people, its one-of-a-kind residents, that truly make it remarkable. Artists, entrepreneurs, doctors, chefs, athletes, teachers, volunteers, caregivers, philanthropists (and many, many more) collectively comprise a well so deep of talent and passion it’s sometimes hard to believe how lucky we are to have such incredible neighbors. It’s a shared love for our Island home and one another that makes Bainbridge a magical place… and the stories of our people fill the vibrant pages of PNW Bainbridge magazine.
