WHY IS BAINBRIDGE ISLAND ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO LIVE?
Many national news outlets - from CNN and Money magazine to most recently Men's Journal - have written about our Island paradise. As our Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce says: "Today, more than 23,000 people call these 28 square miles home. The island's friendly people, exquisite beauty and proximity to Seattle and the Kitsap Peninsula continue to draw new residents and curious visitors. Much of the once bucolic landscape and teeming strawberry fields have given way to suburban neighborhoods. However, residents remain sensitive to the island's natural beauty and actively support our open spaces through local taxes and private resources."
Below is a collection of links to news articles, which vividly explain why Bainbridge Island truly is "As good as it gets."
