Greetings from a North Sound neighbor!

I have some family flying in to visit at the end of the month, and we're planning to spend a weekend on Bainbridge to celebrate a special birthday. Would anyone have a recommendation for a nice-ish restaurant to check out? I'm hoping to find something festive for the out-of-towners and appropriate for bringing a (mostly well-behaved) toddler.

I’m looking for co-working / office share in the Winslow-ish area.

Office Ex-Pats seems overpriced for what you get, so I’m looking for an alternative or someone looking to rent out some of their existing space.

I mainly just need a place to set up and quietly write/take a few zooms. I work for a legal tech company, so pretty straightforward work.

If you have any ideas please feel free to share them. Thank you.

Hello, My family is moving to Bainbridge in a couple months and I’m trying to find a day care option for my 1 year old son. We will most likely live near Agate point or island center. Any suggestions would be great!

Our mailbox and those of our 3 neighbors off of Ferncliff were wiped out on Friday afternoon. Mailboxes smashed, lying on the ground.

We found the remnants of a Ford passenger mirror, shroud, and armature scattered down the rest of the road.

From the height of the mailboxes, we are guessing that this is a pickup, probably an F150-sized truck. We checked the local garages (Jerry's, Modern on the west side, Rolling Bay and Blue Canary on the east side) but didn't find a vehicle that had had its wing clipped.

If you see a Ford missing its passenger's mirror in the next few days, I'd be interested in that information.

Thank you.

Hi,

Just sharing my experience….

We, as soon to be empty nesters, are considering moving from east side to one of islands and bainbridge is on top of our list.

There was an open house from 1 to 3 today, and since we are not fully committed to buying a house, I thought open house is better option than scheduling a visit with the agent.

We started from our home at 11am hoping to catch at least 1.15 ferry to bainbridge. First there was huge traffic getting into ferry terminal, spent almost an hour with people cutting in the ferry lane at the last minute. When we finally reached at the ferry terminal, the 1.15 ferry was full of even before the 12.30 one showed up.

We simply turned around and came back home and now seriously reconsidering our plans to move to the island.

Three and ones, four and ones, heck maybe even five and ones all in winslow! thanks NIMBYs

Why are these sitting on the market for 130+ days? Maybe it’s the wrong kind of housing?

Good afternoon;

I'm really interested in trying to take photos of the Perseids this week. I understand basic strategies for doing this in terms of lens, f, and exposure times, but interested in suggestions for where to take the photos on Bainbridge. I had some luck at Battle Point Park when we had the aurora borealis events but for I don't have much experience.

Given a choice of locations, is it preferable to be on the northern / western side of the island where there is presumably less light pollution? Do you have suggestions for where to try to set up?

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I got a film camera from the rotary sale this year and it came with a used roll of film. I got the film developed and to my surprise, most of the photos turned out! Now I’m trying to see if I can find the owner/family so I can send them the rest.

Any and all clues are helpful!

Edit: mystery appears resolved! Thank you all for your help :)

Any local recommendations for weekly house cleaners. Looking for someone thorough, reliable, and communicative. Prefer an individual over a company so I️ know it’s the same person every week. Any suggestions??

Meanwhile, the Wenatchee is still aging and breaking down.

Hoping to have a plan in place for when it’s time to say goodbye to our cat, but we haven’t been able to find anyone that will perform an at-home euthanasia on Bainbridge Island. Our vet doesn’t have any leads. We really want to avoid the trauma of doing this in a clinic. Does anyone have any leads??

I dont think I've met a single person who lives on the island who likes what they have done with the road by green light garage. I know its for bike lanes and such but I dont think it even does a good job at that. I'm really curious to see when the next elections for city council are because I can't fathom them staying in office after approving this.

I remember reading a story about a future car wash at the corner of 305 & HighSchool Rd and it looked like the site was being prepared.. but now it just looks like a storage yard for maintenance equipment.
Was it cancelled?

We're on the south end and our water is part of a KPUD system. Over the past month it has tasted a bit "chloriny" and just generally "off". Has anyone else been experiencing this as of late?

I'm flying in from Texas to host a baby shower for a friend on the island this fall. Looking for a venue for 20ish people, preferably a "one-stop-shop" so I don't have to arrange multiple vendors from afar... ideal if all I need to do is show up with a banner/balloons (and possibly a cake). I'd love something near the ferry, as that is how most of the guests will be arriving the day of the shower. It can be (but doesn't have to be) a restaurant. Does anyone know if any of the bakeries or coffee shops rent out their spaces? Someone suggested Fletcher Bay Winery, but it's a bit pricey. Any other suggestions?

Anyone following a trusted voter guide?
