About Bainbridge
Bainbridge Island is approximately 13 miles long and 3 miles wide, about the size of Manhattan Island. The main difference is that Bainbridge has a population of about 20,000 humans, almost as many raccoons, quite a few opossums, numerous deer and the occasional black bear. The Island is located on the Kitsap Peninsula side of Puget Sound, 6 miles and a 40 minute ferry ride from Seattle. Bainbridge Island is incorporated as a city, although most of the Island is rural with a lot of fir, cedar, alder and madrona trees. The main business and population center is the town of Winslow, where the ferry terminal is located. .

The 35 minute Washington State Ferry crossing from Seattle to Bainbridge Island runs every 55 minutes from 4:40 a.m. until 2 a.m. (check schedule for exact times)…. Fares for walk-on passengers are only charged from the Seattle side of the crossing. There is no charge for walk-ons from Bainbridge to Seattle. Bicyclists and motorcycles have priority in getting on and off the ferry and pay reduced fares. Auto/driver fares are charged in both directions, but passengers are only charged from the Seattle side. Make sure to read the restrictions on carrying gasoline and other hazardous substances. Here is a video that captures the spirit of the ride. Thanks to Beth Marsau and YouTube.
