Our newly restored historic cottage is located in a small town on Bainbridge Island near Seattle. It’s a 10 minute walk to the ferry and a 30 minute ferry ride to the tourist area of downtown Seattle. It’s about a 20 min taxi or train ride from downtown Seattle to SeaTac International Airport located in Tacoma, Washington. (Also, there is a ferry from Seattle to downtown Victoria, Canada.) Our home is located in a friendly small town neighborhood. It is only a 5 minute walk to downtown Winslow, which has great restaurants, markets, coffee shops, shopping, and marina. It’s a vibrant community with both locals and tourists. Bainbridge Island has a population of about 24,000 but is mostly forest and has several public beaches, so there are plenty of hiking trails and kayaking areas around the island. Our car will be available for trips off the island, being only a few hours away from the scenic views of Olympic National Park, Mt. Rainer, and the Pacific Ocean. There are two bikes for use to explore bike trails around Puget Sound. The weather is usually sunny and warm from June through September.
