The Almanac Your Guide to Island Life Every day. Every single day of the year. The 2019 Bainbridge Island Almanac — our residents’ guide for living on Bainbridge Island — arrives with a new twist this year. Of course, every annual issue of the Almanac is your handy reference guide to the people and places that make our island unique. But this year, we’ve tried to capture the essence of the Island by incorporating something special into these pages.

Hannah Anunson gets to wear an alligator as a hat after the close of the performance of the Reptile Man (zoologist and educator Scott Petersen) at Battle Point Park. Petersen brought plenty of cold-blooded friends (snakes, lizards, Lucy the alligator and more) from his reptile zoo in Monroe for the show, the kickoff event for Monday Fundays, a summertime program presented by the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District. 7.23.18
We call it “A Year on Bainbridge.” It’s a project of the Bainbridge Review newsroom that
Birth through Elementary
10994 Arrow Point Drive NE, Bainbridge Island (206) 842-4966
launched on Jan. 1, 2018. For every day of the past year, Review photographers Luciano Marano and Brian Kelly headed out, cameras in hand, to document a year in the life of Bainbridge. Regular readers at bainbridgereview.com have gotten a glimpse of the project as it was underway, as part of our websites’s Photo of the Day series. Here, in this year’s Almanac, we’re sharing some of our favorites from A Year on Bainbridge Island. Next year, we’ll be back with a new Almanac and more surprises. Suggestions? Send them our way to editor@bainbridgereview.com.

Downtown Winslow saw the return of the much-loved Scotch Broom Festival, amidst laughter and the craning necks of uninformed passersby. The “impromptu” yearly Bainbridge tradition was greeted by horn honks, cheers and, yes, some confusion from passers by and those out enjoying the sunny downtown sidewalks and Madrone Lane. Following the traditional tiddlywinks match outside Town & Country Market, longtime islander Laurie Gallagher Maltman was crowned as the 2018 Scotch broom queen. 5.15.18 Luciano Marano photo

Ferries – iconic to island life From a ferry yard on the shores of Eagle Harbor to a boat being included on the seal of the city, ferries are tightly woven into the fabric of Bainbridge Island. Washington has 24 ferries running between 20 terminals throughout Puget Sound. One of the most popular routes is between the island and Seattle. With two boats servicing the island — the Tacoma and the Wenatchee — the route is a major gateway onto the Kitsap Peninsula. The ferry run between Bainbridge and Seattle carried 6.3 million riders in 2015, including 3 million walk-on passengers.

ARTS and culture
Once you’ve had your fill of the island’s natural assets - the beaches, trails and parks - you can be sure to find something close at hand to tantalize your creative side indoors as well. Bainbridge Performing Arts, the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra, Ovation! Performing Arts Northwest and Island Theater all offer praise-gathering productions on a regularly rotating schedule. There’s always something to see. Also, Bainbridge Cinemas and the historic Lynwood Theater offer brand-new blockbusters and speciality silver screen fare as well, including revived classics and live ballet and special concert events broadcast via satellite from around the globe. Looking instead to bust a move? Maybe cut a little rug? No sweat - unless you want to, of course. You’re never far from the chance to dance on Bainbridge Island. Between the Treehouse Café, Bainbridge Brewing, Pegasus Coffee and a constant calendar of shows at Rolling Bay Hall, you’ll have a chance to rock here on the rock almost any night of the week. Most of all though, Bainbridge is renowned for its galleries and museums, including the epicenter of island art: the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Within an easy walk from there, guests can enjoy monthly rotating displays at Bainbridge Arts & Crafts, Danger, Roby-King Galleries, the Steven Fey fine art photography gallery and more. For a real special treat, be sure to check out downtown Winslow’s First Friday Art Walk. This social staple runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on the first Friday of every month. Get out there early to beat the crowds and make sure you get a taste of the best wines. Art is at the heart of island living. Whatever moves you, bet you’ll find it on Bainbridge.

Island SPORTS AND RECREATION Opportunities to get in on the action on Bainbridge are everywhere, and whether you’re going out for the team or looking for something a little more off the beaten path, the island has what it takes to get you moving. Though it may seem that much of the local emphasis is on youth sports, the high school’s many championship-earning teams and clubs as well as the various youth leagues, old-timers too will find plenty of ways to shake the dust off as they explore and enjoy the multitude of recreational options on the island. Whether you’re looking for beaches to relax on, trails to hike and bike, boats to sail or games to play, Bainbridge has it all.

In 1942, Louis W. Sinnett formed Kitsap County Fire Protection District No. 2, when the department had one truck and 16 volunteers who were called by telephone at home to respond to fires. By 1955 there was a fire station in Winslow, manned by volunteers, who dispatched all fire calls. The island’s first paid, shift firefighters were hired in 1978, and the department saw rapid growth and expansion over the next two decades with the construction of a new station on Madison Avenue. The Bainbridge fire district officially became the “Bainbridge Island Fire Department” in 1994, and two years later, plans were made to construct a new station on the north end of the island on Phelps Road that would include a training facility for career and volunteer members. In 2009, the community passed the first ever Emergency Medical Services levy which provided funds to hire firefighter/EMTs to open another fire station, Station 22 on Bucklin Hill Road. And in early 2016, island voters approved a $16 million bond measure to pay for new and improved facilities, as well as a 9-cent levy increase fore more firefighters to staff the department’s north end station.
Fire Chief Hank Teran Fire Chief Hank Teran came to Bainbridge in August 2007. Teran spent 28 years on the front lines with the Long Beach Fire Department and was a deputy chief for the Southern California department before taking the job as Bainbridge’s new chief.
