Bloedel Reserve is an experiential public garden and forest reserve — a mixed tapestry of woodlands, meadows, and landscaped gardens. With 150 acres and 23 distinct landscapes to explore, it’s a perfect place to lose yourself in nature. A loop of well-maintained bark and gravel trails and paved roads wind through the Reserve. The loop is approximately 2 miles long. To walk the entire loop, plan to spend at least 2 hours at the Reserve.
Visiting Bloedel Reserve is specifically designed to be a quietly immersive experience in nature. Please remember that Bloedel Reserve is not a public park. As such, we do not allow pets (other than assistance dogs), beverages other than water, or picnicking on the grounds. For information about nearby restaurants or city parks where you can enjoy a meal or snack, just ask the Gatehouse staff.
Please review our Garden Etiquette before your visit. To get a sneak peek of the Bloedel grounds before you get here, click Explore Before You Go.

What arose from the impassioned and insightful quest of a handful of volunteers in 1956 flourishes still today. Bainbridge Performing Arts has emerged as a community theater in the very best sense of the phrase – serving as a fulcrum for the artistic heart of the island and offering a growing/gathering space for the creative collaborations of actors, musicians, singers, writers, poets, dancers, and designers.

Blackbird Bakery has the great luck of being part of a beautiful place called Bainbridge Island. Our community also stretches across the water to Seattle and over the Agate Pass Bridge into Kitsap County. It not only includes all of our wonderful customers and employees but all of our local growers and purveyors. From strawberries to honey to coffee to flour we source our ingredients and choose our partners knowing that most often local is best. Too, we are fortunate to be part of a great food serving community with some of the best restaurants, cafes, pubs, and coffee bars around, each run by great people working hard at their craft.
We opened the Blackbird Bakery in September of 1999 starting with the two of us and a dozen other folks. We baked the things we loved and made coffee the way we thought it should be made. As it turned out lots of people agreed with us and we have been blessed over the years with an amazing parade of talented and inspired bakers, cooks, and baristas each bringing something of themselves to the table. We wouldn’t have become the bakery we are without all of them and they continue to help us achieve our vision every day.
We sing our baking song with such joy because of the community we are a part of. We are surprised and honored to have been embraced and allowed to become such a significant part of so many lives. We have come to love all the great community events, all the seasons and all the people that make Bainbridge Island such a wonderful place

The building Doc’s Marina Grill is located in is the last of the old historic working waterfront of Bainbridge Island. It has been many names as a tavern, starting with the Yodeling Oyster. There aren’t too many of the older generations of Islanders still around, but those who are fondly remember it as Mac’s. The area was sort of Bainbridge Island’s Cannery Row.
Ringing the bell bought the house a round. Michel had never bought a round in his life — this was his chance of a lifetime. (Note: The pub claims to have the original bell from Mac’s Tavern, but this photo shows clearly that it is different. Sorry, Jeff.)
Some of the infamous events at Mac’s were the beer fights. There were times when it was wetter inside than outside in the rain. Oddly enough, Mac’s is fondly remembered for a couple of fine dining experiences: the crab and cheddar omelet with hash browns for breakfast and the crab cheddar pita for lunch. Doc’s continues this tradition in a couple of menu items and in their October Crab Fest.
