Since before the Nakata family brought Town & Country Market to Winslow Way, Bainbridge community services have been rooted in the very thing they wish to serve: for the community, by the community.Bainbridge just wouldn’t be Bainbridge without its countless entrepreneurs.Behind the shop-local spirit is the dentist office your children have been going to since they were old enough and the veterinarian who remembers your dog’s name.

The Bainbridge Island Review’s “Best of Bainbridge” survey shines a spotlight on readers’ top choice on everything from the best place to buy pizza to the best public playground.Hundreds of readers participated in this year’s vote and the categories include fitness & sports, shopping, services, food and more.It’s no wonder Bainbridge is a tourist destination.But residents are lucky to enjoy the “Best of

Bainbridge” year around.Readers will notice some repeat winners from previous years, but some new winners as well. Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists.Have a suggestion for new categories or other “bests” in the community? Please email Donna Etchey at [email protected] with ideas.
