Bainbridge Island, WA Mobile Homes & Double-Wides for Sale

Bainbridge Island has a population of around 25,000 and sits at the center of Puget Sound, with the Seattle skyline and Mount Rainier to the east and the Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Mountains to the west. Fir and pine tree forests serve as a nod to the late 1800s lumber industry. Later, local shipyards were the point of manufacturing schooners, and during World War II, production shifted to minesweepers. Fort Ward, located at the island’s southernmost tip, was central to the United States Navy’s radio communications operations and security of Bremerton’s Naval shipyard farther west. Unlike other areas of Kitsap County, where economies are specific to the military and healthcare industries, Bainbridge Island’s economy is closely linked to Seattle and its technology companies. Tourism also supports the island’s economy. “Many people who want more space or land and to raise kids in a place out of the city do so in Bainbridge Island,” says Kelly Shipley, a broker with Coldwell Banker Bain with over two decades of real estate experience. “Part of Kitsap has lower tax rates, but Bainbridge is excluded. Taxes are higher there because they put much more towards their schools.” The
