The month of romance is here and as we prepare to impress our sweethearts with treats and thoughtful gifts, we thought it would be a great time to invite you into our favorite Island florist: Flowering Around! This shop has been adorning our community with beauty since 1987 by collaborating with local artists to create truly unique floral offerings.

We are well on our way into 2019 and that means we are in for a long stretch of winter—short days, cold air, and perhaps even a few snowflakes. Though we may not be spending as much time outdoors as we’d like, there’s still plenty to do on the Island. This month, we are highlighting a place that brings fun every day of the year: KiDiMu!

The holidays are right around the corner and as we all work to finish our shopping and find the perfect gifts, we thought it’d be a perfect time to spotlight a really sweet store here on the Island: Dana’s Show House. We just adore this shop and love that you can find everything there, from furniture and accessories to greeting cards, housewares, and beyond, which means shopping for others—or yourself—is a breeze!

In the spirit of the chilly season—and in anticipation of the coming holidays—we want to highlight one of our favorite stores on Bainbridge Island: Churchmouse Yarns & Teas. This lovely shop is stocked with luxurious yarns, comforting teas, and everything you need to get your knit on!

Autumn is in the air and with the holidays just around the corner, we decided to dedicate our Local Spotlight to one of our favorite and delectable destinations: Blackbird Bakery!

Fall is officially here and we are celebrating the start of the season by shining a Local Spotlight on one of our favorite local destinations: Bainbridge Gardens!

Summer may be winding down, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had on Bainbridge Island! This month, we are savoring the last few weeks of sunshine with a Local Spotlight that promises unforgettable marine memories: Exotic Aquatics!

The statistics from the second quarter of 2018 are in and Bainbridge Island homes continue to gain value as the number of homes for sale and average days on market decline downward.

The pacific northwest offers summer seasons that are unlike anywhere else. As temperatures begin to rise and days get longer, the time is just right to enjoy quality time with friends and family while admiring the natural beauty that surrounds us. The land becomes a venue for lush greenery and the water welcomes the glistening sun. Bainbridge Island is the perfect place to savor the season.

The past year proved to be successful for our local real estate market. Realogics Sotheby's International Realty compiled an extensive look into neighborhoods across the region, and I am proud to share some statistics for Bainbridge Island.
