summertime state of mind

Tim Shelly and Kari Butterfield are the quiet engine behind one of Bainbridge’s most vital food security programs, Food Bridge, preparing approximately 600 fresh meals each week for those in need. Their reach extends across the island’s support networks (and beyond), including Helpline House, the Senior Center, Island Volunteer Caregivers (IVC) and Arms Around Bainbridge (AAB).

Moored Life has its Ups and Downs: It might surprise some land-dwelling Bainbridge residents to know that the island has a thriving liveaboard community, but an estimated 40 boats are moored in Bainbridge waters. Harbour Marina, situated just below the Harbour Public House, currently hosts 22 liveaboard vessels, the most of any island marina. The Dave Ullin Open Water Marina—in the center of Eagle Harbor—has moorings for another 16. A few other boats are scattered across various island moorings, including Eagle Harbor Marina on the harbor’s south side.
