BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WASHINGTON - FOUR HOMES

Bainbridge Island Washington will always be special to us. Due west of Seattle - 35 minutes by ferry - in the Puget Sound, Bainbridge is an eleven-mile-long five-mile-wide, three-elementary-school, one-high-school, two-grocery-store island of 25,000 people. We were fortunate to spend five years there and in that time we met so many interesting successful kind people, several who are still friends today. We built a house there and our first son was born while we lived there. We now love going back to see both the things that are exactly the same, and the things that have beautifully evolved.

This is a sampling of the incredibly special properties that dot the island - each with their own unique character. People take such pride in their homes and gardens on Bainbridge and it fills me with inspiration every time I visit.
