Just moved to Bainbridge Island last year and we think it's fabulous! Weak reasons for BI to appear on this list! And I'll take 35 minute ferry ride any day instead of sitting in my car in traffic!

That 35 minutes; read the paper, check emails, and a fabulous Happy Hour on the ride home! Are you kidding me!!! Who made up this list- BTW, there's plenty to do on the island! Hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, shopping, boating, golf, tennis, should I go on-
