Neighbourhood

We are conveniently located between Winslow (small vibrant/artsy walkable town on Bainbridge Island easily accessed by ferry from downtown Seattle) and Poulsbo (Nordic heritage town on Kitsap Peninsula). Both towns are about a 10-15 minute drive from our home. In our neighborhood, we especially enjoy quiet sunset walks with water/mountain views. We also enjoy being near a sheep farm and feeding goats that live down the street. There is public water access within a 20 min walk/5 min drive. Bainbridge Island offers many clean and well maintained parks all within a 5-15 min drive from our home. The incredible Bloedel Reserve (140 acres of a variety of woodlands/gardens) is only 5 min by car or a 25 min walk. The Grand Forest park has mixed-use trails for hiking/biking in the middle of the island. While other parks offer water access for beach walks or kayaking/water sports. Battle Point park has an abundance of pickleball courts and also details the founders history of pickleball. It was created here on Bainbridge Island! Downtown Bainbridge Island (town of Winslow) has several excellent choices of highly rated restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. There is also a fantastic free art museum (BIMA) and a kids museum. The newly renovated performing arts center also has live theatre, improv and other events. On Saturdays throughout spring/summer/fall, there is a farmers market in Winslow and one in Poulsbo. https://www.visitbainbridgeisland.org/ https://leahapplewhite.com/winslow

Nearest airport

Seattle/Tacoma International Airport (SEA) or Paine Field (PAE) in Everett, WA (a few direct flights to other states in the USA) on Alaska Airlines.

Getting Around

A car is the best way to access our full area, but for shorter stays getting around by bus/walking/bike would definitely be possible. I'd be happy to help you plan a car-free trip. There is some public transportation on the island and we are very close (5 min walk) to a bus stop. There are busses that run approximately hourly to the ferry. From the ferry terminal on Bainbridge, it is easy to walk-on the ferry for a day trip to Seattle without a car (35 minute ferry). You can also reach downtown Bainbridge Island or Poulsbo on these busses. BI Ride is an on-demand bus that operates on the island typically between 9am-3pm. From an app (Ride Pingo), you can schedule rides throughout the island for $2 each way. Kids 18 and under are free. https://www.kitsaptransit.com/service/routed-buses/bi-ride There is also a bus you could take to get to Port Angeles (Clallum transit). From there, you could walk-on the Coho ferry (1.5hrs) to visit Victoria, British Columbia which is a very walkable city. Also, the Amtrak train is an option from Seattle or Edmonds. This train can easily get you to cities such as Portland OR, Bellingham WA or Vancouver BC. I can provide more details as needed.

Molly

We are a family of 3 who love to explore and travel as often as we can on school breaks. Molly has worked in public school special education with a background in occupational therapy and James is a commercial airline pilot. Our teenage son enjoys ultimate frisbee, coding, video and board games. We also get outdoors as a family and hike, swim, kayak, camp and downhill ski. We have previously lived/worked in Scotland and Dubai. We love the chance to have local connections and experiences when we travel which is why we think PLU is a great fit for us.

"We would be up for exchanges in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho, or California. We also like to travel to cities that have direct flights on Alaska Air to/from Seattle. But, we're also up for visiting new places in the U.S., so feel free to reach out."
