Bainbridge Island was named The Nantucket of the Pacific Northwest by Vogue magazine in 2016 and described as having an “elegant island vibe (more nautical stripes than surfer shorts)”. It’s a residential gateway for families and retirees alike. Lined with glorious views, mom-and-pop shops, and plentiful community and cultural events, Bainbridge has a small-town feel while maintaining access to important services like health care. For those looking to spend their golden years in a vibrant and active community while surrounded by natural beauty, Bainbridge holds a number of promising opportunities and checks most of the important boxes.
