One of the larger islands in Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island is about five miles wide and ten miles long. Just a 35-minute ferry ride across Elliott Bay, west of downtown Seattle, Bainbridge Island attracts a diverse crowd of locals and out-of-towners alike. Though Bainbridge has many residents who live and work on the island, many also commute to Seattle via the Bainbridge Island ferry each day.
This island getaway has the unique advantage of being connected to the mainland via the Agate Pass Bridge. Built in the 1950s, this steel bridge replaced a car ferry service and now offers travelers easy access to the rest of the Olympic Peninsula, from Port Angeles to the Olympic National Forest.

Bainbridge Island is known for its festivals and events! Stop by the local farmers market, or join the island's most famous annual bike ride. The Chilly Hilly bicycle ride each February kicks off the cycling season, and is "guaranteed to be hilly, probably chilly and always a heck of a lot of fun."
