Island history, government, and business

Bainbridge Island is one of those rare communities that has learned from its history and is richer for it. The internment of our Japanese neighbors has made us more tolerant of all peoples. Our local government is run by conscientious individuals who do the best job they can with the circumstances in which they find themselves. And the community? Involved. You can seclude yourself in your home and enjoy the quiet of the Island but if you want to get involved in the Island's politics or organizations, there are many opportunities available to you.
