Bainbridge Island recognizes affordable housing as a critical need for its community, as highlighted by the National Community Survey results. With only 3% of the over 11,000 housing units on the island considered affordable or income-restricted, efforts are underway to address this pressing issue through the development of the site at 625 Winslow Way E. The City Council has adopted a Housing Action Plan and initiated a Request for Qualifications to find a suitable development partner for the project, which aims to provide well-designed affordable apartments and commercial space. This initiative is set against a backdrop of increasing housing costs and the desire to maintain a diverse, multigenerational community on Bainbridge Island. Generated from the website
