With options in Seattle starting to run thin and the weather taking a turn, we opted to take the ferry to Bainbridge Island to check out the quaint town across the bay.
The 30-minute ferry ride wasn't quite as scenic as the evening before, but it was still a decent experience.
The island is home to a vibrant arts scene, with galleries, performance venues, and a wide range of cultural events. The village also offers a variety of restaurants, cafes, and tasting rooms showcasing local ingredients and artisan products. The island village was fairly lively, likely due to the weekend crowd. I ended up taking very few photos—there just wasn’t much that caught my eye, especially with the dull, drizzly weather.
One thing that did catch my eye, though, was this colourful hotel tucked in behind the village.
By the time we got back from Bainbridge Island, it was already late afternoon. We made a quick stop at Pike Place Market, but it was absolutely swarming with people, making it tough to enjoy—so we didn’t stick around for long. Instead, we headed back to the hotel for a relaxed dinner and to get packed up ahead of our departure tomorrow morning.
