Bainbridge Island
The islands of Puget Sound have many things in common, not the least of which is their thriving artist communities. Bainbridge Island is no exception. From abstract canvases to porcelain pottery, you’ll find the fine arts to be well-represented in the art galleries and studios that line the streets of this charming island. Visit in August for the Summer Studio Tour and view the works of more than 50 regional artists. This self-guided art tour takes place over three days and is accessible by car or bicycle.
Bloedel Reserve is an award-winning public garden on Bainbridge Island that features 150 acres of natural woodlands and beautifully landscaped gardens, including a Japanese Garden, a Moss Garden, and Reflection Pool, and the Bloedels’ former estate home. You’ll definitely want to include a visit to this Northwest treasure in your visit to the island.
If shopping is your thing, then Bainbridge Island delivers. Historic Winslow offers everything from Oriental rugs to antiques. Discover distinctive Northwest gifts and local works of art at Millstream Bainbridge, or start your Christmas shopping early at Calico Toy Shoppe.
Round out a day of shopping and sightseeing with dinner at one of island’s fine restaurants. Hitchcock offers organic local foods in an intimate atmosphere. Doc’s Marina Grill features great food and drinks with a focus on fun. Your tastebuds will be smiling!
