Bainbridge's Gateway development ready to welcome people to Winslow - Kitsap Sun
By Tad Sooter
Posted April 20, 2014 at 5:19 p.m.
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — A familiar bakery and a new tavern are among the businesses setting up shop this spring on Bainbridge Island’s busiest street corner.
Contractors are putting finishing touches on the last building in the Island Gateway development at Winslow Way and Highway 305. Interior finish work, driveway paving, landscaping and signage are all that remain to complete the five-year project, said Andrew Lonseth of development firm Asani.
Island Gateway already is home to the Bainbridge Island Museum of
Art, Kids Discovery Museum and tech firm Avalara. The final two-story
building on Winslow Way is filling fast.
Bainbridge Bakers, a popular café in Winslow Green, will open a second location this week on the ground floor. The bakery will be joined in late June by the Ale House on Winslow, a planned craft beer taproom. Avalara expanded into the top floor of the building. A rooftop event deck will be available for rent.
One street-front retail space in the building remains to be filled.
Lonseth said he is in discussions with several potential tenants but
nothing has been finalized.
“We’d like a tenant that brings interest and excitement,” Lonseth said. “It’s important to us that we have a destination community.”
Bainbridge Bakers owner Mike Loudon said he’d had his eye on the corner location since well before the Gateway project broke ground.
“It’s the realization of a pretty long dream,” Loudon said Friday.
The new Bainbridge Bakers has seating for 85. Like the original location, it serves coffee, baked goods and food. Beer and wine will be added to the mix later this year.
The café also can double as a venue for theatrical and musical performances. Loudon, an avid community theater booster, said seating can be rearranged to accommodate 150 guests.
“I’m so excited about having it filled with music and people and light,” he said. “It’s going to be something pretty special for the island.”
Bakery customers might well mosey next door after those evening performances. The neighboring Ale House on Winslow aims to fill a niche as a craft beer taproom and late-night hangout.
Travis Samson, one of four partners in the venture, said the Ale
House will be outfitted with 16 taps and a wide variety of bottled beer
and wine. They plan to stock a large number of local brews, alongside a
sampling of domestic brands and a few imports.
“I’d like to make Bainbridge more of a destination for beer geeks,” Samson said. “Our overall goal is to have a beer there for everyone,”
Samson, 27, worked at Silver City Brewery before deciding to go into business with a group of college friends. They still have ambitions to start a microbrewery in Seattle, but Samson said the chance to create a tavern in the Island Gateway was too good to pass up.
“It’s literally the first thing you’ll see coming off the ferry,” he said.
The Gateway project rapidly transformed the island’s main entry over the past five years, filling the 5-acre corner with a cluster of distinctly modern structures.
The final building in the development was constructed on the site of the Eagle Harbor Market, a small grocery opened by the Nakata family in the 1940s. The new Gateway building now bears the same name.
“It’s a little historical gesture,” Lonseth said.

Bainbridge Ferry Terminal Building Rehabilitation
PHC Construction was hired by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to renovate the existing Bainbridge Ferry terminal building to enhance earthquake safety, upgrade the public
restrooms, and replace many aging building components.
Here are some recent photos from the construction site and some additional information about the project from the WSDOT website.
Why is WSDOT rehabilitating the Bainbridge Island terminal building?
The existing terminal building was built in 1955 and does not meet current seismic design codes, other building codes and energy efficiency guidelines. The public restrooms are inadequate and do not meet American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.
The End Result
The exterior walls of the terminal building will be stronger. Customers will notice the following:
- The public restrooms will be larger, in a new location and meet current codes.
- The inside tollbooths will be demolished, improving passenger flow through the building.
- Space will be created inside the building for the WSF vendor Commuter Comforts presently operating outside.
- The building will have all new exterior windows and sliding doors, a new roof, a new electrical panel, new light fixtures, and a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit.
Project Benefits
This project will improve safety during an earthquake by retrofitting the building to current design codes. The main public restrooms will be enlarged to provide more capacity and meet design codes and ADA guidelines. The new roof will eliminate leaks. The new electrical panel will increase reliability and reduce maintenance on the panel, as well as allow a potential vendor to lease space inside the building. The overall energy efficiency of the building will increase with more efficient lighting and windows.
What is the project timeline?

After 28 years of serving coffee and baked goods on
Bainbridge, it’s time for Bainbridge Bakers to spread its wings — that
is, to the other end of Winslow.
The bakery will celebrate its 28th anniversary this Sunday with music and a “peek-a-boo preview” tour of their new location near the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.
“The establishment of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art and the Kids Discovery Museum is one of the most important and notable events to occur on the island in many years,” said bakery owner Mike Loudon. “We are proud and honored to be able to support the patrons and visitors of these fine new facilities.”
Bainbridge Bakers will continue business at its original location at the Winslow Green, but come April, it will begin pouring coffee on the other end of Winslow Way, too.
At Island Gateway, nestled next door to Avalara and the museums, will be a full bakery and cafe serving all of the same Bainbridge Bakers favorites.
The bakery invites residents to join in its 28th anniversary celebration this Sunday, March 23 by welcoming the upcoming opening of its new location.
The party will kick off at 10 a.m. with kiddie karaoke until noon at the original Bainbridge Bakers location.
Island band Paundy will take the floor from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a live performance at the new location.
Their performance will be followed by local singer/songwriter Zach Fleury for another round of music back at the original Bainbridge Bakers from 1 to 3 p.m.
The party will continue until 6 p.m. at the bakery’s Winslow Green location.
Cake and preview tours of the new bakery will be provided.
