BAINBRIDGE ISLAND IS A RELAXING FERRY

ride across Puget Sound from Seattle’s downtown business and financial center. Winslow is the island’s commercial center, offering a small town atmosphere and a full complement of retail and business establishments to service island residents.

Bainbridge Island has evolved from a community with booming shipbuilding, timber and international shipping industries, waterfront summer cottages and berry farms to a rural community of year-round residents who treasure the beauty of Bainbridge Island.

Most working Islanders commute by ferry to Seattle. Bicyclists and joggers love the island’s quiet, delightful picnic areas. And the schools are among the best in the state!

Windermere’s Bainbridge Island office was established in 1978. Our associates have years of experience in handling residential real estate negotiations. They’re committed to making lasting contributions to the community by being involved in a wide range of service activities. WRE/Bainbridge Island.

THE WEST SIDE OF PUGET SOUND IS A

short ferry ride away from downtown Seattle. The beautiful Kitsap County area includes Bremerton, Silverdale, Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, Kingston, Seabeck, and Port Orchard.

This area manages to combine established cities and neighborhoods with wonderful open scenic areas. It is surrounded by water, and is the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula recreational areas. There are many waterfront and view properties, and the average sale price of homes is significantly lower than that of our neighbors across the Sound. Most of our communities are centered around the waterfront with marinas, shopping, galleries, restaurants and more.

Visit our area by taking a ferry from Edmonds or Seattle, or drive from Tacoma on Highway 16 across the Narrows Bridge. The ferry trip is either a half an hour or an hour depending upon departure point, and the drive is about the same. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the beauty and quality of life in Kitsap County.

The waterfront park is an attraction for beachcombers and divers alike. The ferry bound for Kingston departs from Edmonds and the Puget Sound crossing takes about 30 minutes.

Derived from the Native American term for “good meeting place,” Mukilteo, too, offers parks, beaches and excellent restaurants. The cozy community is on Possession Sound and just minutes away from Edmonds. It’s the gateway to Whidbey Island and Deception Pass with frequent ferry service to Clinton on the island’s southern tip.

WHIDBEY ISLAND HAS BECOME A POPULAR

destination for people looking for a summer retreat, those planning retirement or anyone who wants to escape the fast pace of the cities. Surrounded by Puget Sound waters and the dramatic views of both the Cascades and the Olympics, it is the longest island in the contiguous U.S.

From spectacular Deception Pass and the Naval Air Station on the north through rolling farms, tall forests and charming vistas to the convenience of commuting to Everett and Seattle, the varied cultures and terrain make this area most appealing. Miles of beaches, marinas, golf courses, equestrian opportunities and an active cultural community offer the widest scope of activities and interests. Couple this with the low rainfall of the “Puget Sound Banana Belt” and you have one of the best lifestyles in the Pacific Northwest.

Office locations spanning the entire island give us expansive market knowledge. If you’re looking for your dream home, investment or rental property, we’ll provide top quality, professional attention. WRE/South Whidbey. WRE/Whidbey Island.

VASHON ISLAND IS A RURAL PARADISE

nestled in the waters of Puget Sound between Seattle and Tacoma. Accessible only by ferry, the island lifestyle is slower paced, friendly and diverse, a veritable haven for those looking to get away from hectic city life.

The island is 48 square miles, stretching 12 miles north to south. Country roads wind through thick forests and pastoral settings with glorious vistas of the Sound and surrounding mountains. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to the island to enjoy the beautiful scenery for bicycling, kayaking, hiking and beachcombing.

Vashon is a small, tight knit community of approximately 11,000 people that call the island home. There are many painters, potters, jewelers, musicians and writers, as well as Washington’s oldest community arts center, the Blue Heron.

Windermere’s Vashon Island office has 12 full-time sales associates and is an office that has been part of the community since 1948. Enjoy your day, week or lifetime on beautiful Vashon Island! WRE/Vashon Island, Inc.
