Bainbridge Island Waterfront Real Estate | Q3 2023

A Note from Karen

Living on the waters of Puget Sound for more than 20-years has been a privilege for me.  Waking on the eastern shores of Bainbridge Island I have enjoyed many cups of coffee watching the sun rise. Beach combing, beach walking, crabbing, kayaking have been a great part of my island lifestyle.

A native Washingtonian, with 40+years of my life on Bainbridge Island has taught me  how important our natural resources are. Bainbridge Is relatively a small island with 12-miles of shoreline, much has been developed and what has not is under strict management by the States’s Shoreline Management guides and the City of Bainbridge Island. Living on the water has been a privilege but I also feel like I am one of it’s guardians.

The Seattle Times: Creative & Personal Mailboxes of Bainbridge Island

Nestled amidst the solemn solidarity of old-growth cedars, cypress, and Douglas fir, a captivating assortment of creatively designed mailboxes adorns the evergreen landscape of Bainbridge Island, infusing it with grassroots artistry, charm, and whimsy.

Mailboxes hold a special significance on Bainbridge, where ordinary mail receptacles are transformed into objects of exuberant personal expression. Utility gracefully gives way to uniqueness, and the once mundane blossoms into an extraordinary communal flora. These standard flag, box, and post structures, though highly visible, often go unnoticed, yet they have sparked the islanders' imagination, inspiring them to leave their distinctive mark on these everyday objects.

From tinkerers to fine artists, those who craft these mailboxes hold a sincere desire to brighten someone's day, inject joy into a morning stroll, or playfully amuse passersby. The diverse range of artistic disciplines and offbeat ingenuity represented in these creations aptly qualifies them as remarkable examples of folk art.
