Bainbridge Island is located within the Puget Sound in Kitsap County, Oregon, accessible from Seattle via a connector ferry service.

The island city is home to a population of more than 23,000 residents and has been named as the second-best city to live in in America by CNN and Money magazine.

The affluent city has become a popular Seattle bedroom community, offering four centers of commerce that are home to a variety of tourist attractions, including the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum, the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, and the Kids' Discovery Museum. Elsewhere on the island, Bloedel Reserve offers a variety of nature trails and landscaped gardens, while Fay Bainbridge Park showcases an overnight campground and a beach that provides spectacular views of the Puget Sound and Cascade Mountains.
