Bainbridge Island
If you want the luxuries of the city — museums, shopping and accessibility — but need a change of pace, head to Bainbridge Island. The fun starts on the 35-minute ferry crossing, during which you will enjoy beautiful views of the Seattle skyline. Once you disembark, wander over to the town of Winslow, which has a fabulous bookstore and toy shop. If your family loves a good museum, check out the beloved Kids Discovery Museum or the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. And don’t forget to visit Mora Iced Creamery for a cone before you hop on the ferry to head back home!
