There's also plenty of hands-on exhibits for kids, a well as a museum shop, which is always popular with younger historians.

It's blooming lovely on Bainbridge Island

Choose a well-located Bainbridge Island vacation rental, and you can indulge in the island's natural attractions, as well its more liquid delights.

Summers in Seattle are an island delight

Don't come expecting year-round sunshine, Bainbridge Island has a mild, marine climate not unlike San Francisco. And like the Bay area, Bainbridge Island is no stranger to overcast days. The summer is the most popular time to visit, when long sunny days dominate and temperatures regularly reach a pleasant 60-70°F, and Bainbridge Island vacation rentals are booked in advance. In late fall and winter, the mercury drops dramatically, yet Bainbridge Island's marine climate keeps snowfall to a manageable 4 inches.

Bainbridge Island is heaven for hikers

Set in the heart of the Puget Sound, and surrounded by the Cascade Mountain Range, Bainbridge Island is the perfect example of mountains meeting the coast.

One of the real hotspots for hikers is Gazzam Lake Nature Preserve, a 444-acre forest, lake, and wetland area. Spend endless days exploring the many woodland trails which criss-cross the island, or visit the 13-acre wetland, which is home to many species of waterfowl.
