Bainbridge Island Magazine

Bainbridge Island magazine was published in print from 2012 through 2020, and was the area’s definitive city periodical.

The intent was to inform, entertain and engage readers in an effort to foster enthusiasm for our unique city and highlight the many wonderful stories there are to tell about the island.

The magazine was a beautiful, glossy, coffee-table quality magazine that you will be proud to show your family and visitors at your home or business.

From captivating stories on island organizations, to profiles of intriguing people, to listings of restaurants and events—and much more—Bainbridge Island tells the story of our home.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the print magazine was discontinued.

Most of the content from previous magazines has been converted to online BainbridgeIsland.com content that can be accessed by clicking on these links:

Because we offer a digital edition of Bainbridge Island magazine that allows your organization to link directly to a specific page within each issue, we typically do not provide reprints due to the design costs. However, please feel free to contact us for a PDF reprint quote.

You can purchase extra copies of the current issue of the magazine at our favorite bookstore, Eagle Harbor Book Co. The bookstore will also take orders and mail copies if you call them.
