Seattle Skyline, Seattle, WA
The biggest sight on Bainbridge Island is the view back across the Puget Sound to Seattle. We could literally lay in our bed and see the skyline. Naturally I took a lot of pictures, at sunrise, at sunset, in the morning, in the afternoon, from the ferry, from the harbor, ...

Space Needle Redux, Seattle, WA
I'd been to the Space Needle before but Trish hadn't so we made reservations for Sunday brunch there. It's easy to get to (after the ferry ride) and has valet parking for only $8.
Obviously the views are spectacular and the food is just as good.
The day we were there you could see Mt. Rainer.

Bainbridge Harbor, Bainbridge, WA
We enjoyed the small town atmosphere of Bainbridge with the emphasis on small. Our goal was to make this a relaxation trip not a shopping trip. There were plenty of shops to entertain us between reading our novels. We liked the Harbour Public House so much we ate there twice. The clam chowder was FRESH.

A Seattle View at Rockaway Beach, Bainbridge, WA
We spent a 4-day weekend on Bainbridge Island in mid-June 2010. Accommodations on the island are limited. This led me to look for alternatives. I came across Bainbridge Island Vacation Rentals. We looked at several offerings from them and chose "A Seattle View at Rockaway Beach."
The house faces due east on the southeast corner of the island directly on the Sound. Across the Sound is the Seattle skyline. It's less than 50 feet from the water. The Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry comes directly at the house before it turns north to Bainbridge harbor. Mt. Rainier is visible to the south just over the trees.
I posted a lengthy review on tripadvisor.com.

Seattle-Bainbridge Ferry, Seattle, WA
The quickest way to get to Bainbridge Island is to take the ferry across the Puget Sound. It's about a 35 minute ride and runs about once an hour. Their schedule is here.
Interestingly on a couple of the trips we had escorts as we crossed the Sound.
