Bainbridge Island

The landscape around Bainbridge Island is a forested, indented reach of Puget Sound, which has shaped both its low-rise settlements and ferry-linked economy. The island lies west of Seattle, separated from the city by the waterway that connects to the Salish Sea. Downtown Winslow, beside the Seattle–Bainbridge ferry terminal, is the main commercial center and a practical starting point for exploring on foot. Bainbridge Island also preserves a difficult wartime story at the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, which commemorates residents removed under Executive Order 9066 in 1942. The Bloedel Reserve, a public garden and forest preserve on the island’s north end, adds another distinct destination.
