Our advisors love Bainbridge Island for its rich indigenous and nautical histories, and the fact that it offers the best of both worlds: the natural beauty and fresh air that come with being an island, but with easy ferry access to Seattle–it’s only about 35 minutes away. Not that you’ll have to leave often: the island has everything from shopping to cultural events like parades and a Friday night Art walk downtown.
