Description:

Enjoy the sweeping views of the Puget Sound, the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, and the iconic Seattle skyline from Bainbridge Island. Arrive on this quaint island for a guided tour of the historic downtown and the renowned gardens of the Bloedel Reserve.

The open waters of the Puget Sound set a striking backdrop on the must-do Seattle ferry ride to Bainbridge Island. Disembark in the downtown portion of the island called Winslow and explore local shops, grab a bite to eat, or learn about the island’s history before continuing the tour to the Bloedel Reserve.

Just 15 minutes north, immerse yourself in the 150-acre Bloedel Reserve estate full of lush-green meadows, forests, and artfully designed gardens. Led by trained docents, venture under a canopy of angelica trees to learn about the vibrant Northwest-native moss garden.

Enjoy the refreshing Puget Sound breeze as you visit the meticulously pruned and internationally recognized Japanese garden. The grounds’ 2-mile trail is lined with the serene sounds of waterfalls and birds chirping, as well as charming collections of local ferns, orchids, and rhododendrons.

Circle back to the French-inspired Bloedel home and take a moment to admire the panoramic views of the Sound. The peaceful gardens and preserves of the Bloedel Reserve allow for limitless photo opportunities as you reexplore the wonders of nature’s stunning beauty.
