Bainbridge Island for Making Use of Their Gifts Discovering the embodiment of a particular place is an accumulative process, and an adventure. Winslow, now Bainbridge, is at a crucial juncture in defining itself. Is it to retain its self-reliant island sensibility, or is it to evolve into an extension of somewhere else—a bedroom community that debarking motorists rush through on their way to another destination? What is an island community? Is it sustainable, resourceful, a place where the collective and the individual commingle? Are these notions now merely sentimental, or are they worthy of reviving as core values? The art plan must first define the philosophical armature of this place. Once that is determined, the answers to design questions will be revealed. How are trees selected? How are the trees planted? The selection of materials, the sources of materials and the manner in which gateway and public art projects are built all have an integral role in developing a place. Resourcefulness and sustainability as a cost- effective aesthetic is a real “feature” rather than an invented one. The process of the evolution of a village is dynamic, ever- changing. Any plan needs to understand and accommodate these changes. The focus of the Master Plan will be on the journey onto the island, arrivals and departures, first impressions, differences, grace and relief from the mundane. Sustainability, scale, intimacy, self- reliance with a community orientation: this is the philosophy we are attempting to embody in the various parts of this plan. Artists are instrumental in bringing meaning to places. This plan identifies opportunities on Bainbridge Island for making use of their gifts. 2 This public art master plan is commissioned by the Public Art Committee of the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council. The plan was developed in conjunction with the planning of the City of Bainbridge Island’s Downtown Winslow Gateway Advisory Committee, appointed by Darlene Kordonowy, Mayor.

Although other small commercial areas are scattered around the Island, Winslow Way is Bainbridge’s “Main Street”. The ferry from Seattle, the Eagle Harbor waterfront, modest-sized commercial buildings with small-town businesses and a deep, green Ravine cutting across the main road into town combine to 1872 Chart of Eagle Harbor make a unique place. Winslow, like the rest of Bainbridge —Courtesy of Gerry Elfendahl Island, is experiencing the stress of rapid population growth and a lively discussion on how to deal with it. Use of this area has traditionally been focused on the waterfront. Duwamish and Suquamish people used the area extensively, and the Suquamish maintained a campsite at the mouth of the Ravine. What is now Winslow began in the late 19th century as “Hawley” and “Madrone” (named for a surveyor’s witness tree once located where Madison Avenue meets Eagle Harbor). These two settlements, each with its own steamer dock, were located, respectively, east and west of “Canyon Shipyard in Eagle Harbor —Courtesy of Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society Creek” or “Winslow Creek”, now known as the Winslow Ravine. A wooden bridge on what is now Winslow Way joined them in the 1920s.

  • Queen Anne Historic Context Statement
    QUEEN ANNE HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT Prepared by Florence K. Lentz and Mimi Sheridan For the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Historic Preservation Program and the Queen Anne Historical Society October 2005 The community of Queen Anne is one of Seattle’s oldest residential neighborhoods. Pioneer settler Thomas Mercer first called the forested, water-lapped district Eden Hill. By the mid-1880s, the growing suburb had acquired the name Queen Anne Town in reference to its showy domestic architecture. The character of this thoroughly urban neighborhood today is the result of several key influences, both physical and human. Natural features have both encouraged and restrained the development of Queen Anne over time. Waterways at the base of the hill virtually assured adjacent industrial growth from an early date. At the same time, steep topography limited the spread of large-scale commercial and industrial land uses on the hill itself. Instead, the hill became attractive as an early residential suburb because of its spectacular territorial and water views and its relative accessibility to the city. Queen Anne Hill was linked to Seattle by public transit in the late 1880s. Thereafter, streetcar lines fostered rapid platting, intensive residential construction, and the eventual emergence of multifamily housing – all within a brief forty-year period of time. The close-in location and unsurpassed views continue to stabilize the high value of real estate on the hill. Queen Anne’s character has been shaped as much by its human resources as by its physical features. The fact that progressive, well-educated families made the hill their home from the outset has left a lasting legacy.
