Only a 35-minute ferry ride from downtown Seattle, Bainbridge Island is a great place to visit.
The Agate Pass bridge at the island’s northend leads to the Kitsap Peninsula, but the only way to get to the big city is by boat. When visiting Bainbridge, stroll the waterfront, take a kayak tour, or rent a bike and ride the hilly back roads.
Several miles up the highway from the Bainbridge Ferry terminal is the Bainbridge Island Winery, which houses an unusual wine-themed antique shop and display, a tasting room and a flower garden.
For botanical garden enthusiasts, a visit to Bloedel Reserve is a must. It takes about two hours to tour. An admission is charged and reservations are required. |
