Just shy of 25,000 residents, Bainbridge Island is in the top 10% of cities in the state of Washington. But far beyond its size, Bainbridge is home to financial opportunity.
Per the most recent census, the median income of Bainbridge Island households was more than $159,000. The median home value is more than $1M, of which 80% are owned. The median age of an islander is around 50 years old and 75% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher. Our population has created a strong local economy – one which stretches beyond the shops and restaurants of Winslow and Lynwood Center, to all corners of the island and across its half-dozen commercial districts. According to the WA Dept of Commerce, more than 3,000 companies call Bainbridge home, with almost 500 of them based in brick and mortar businesses. Islanders have robust buying power, and strongly value doing business with local vendors whenever possible. Total retail sales per capita are just above $9000 annually.
We all benefit from living in this remarkable place. We're surrounded by exceptional neighbors...philanthropists, business leaders, artists, and educators who enrich our community. And superb journalism is one of the ways we continue to support that community by highlighting and showcasing the remarkable people who call it home. So when advertisers choose to be part of our pages, they're getting far more than a return on their investment. They're casting their vote for the very community that makes it possible for us to lead such enriched, vibrant lives.
