Amazing food! Probably the best wedding food I've ever had, and lest you think that's a low bar, it…read morereally would deserve five stars as a restaurant too. The dishes were so special to the couple, and they really seemed to go above and beyond. Their lamb was probably the standout dinner dish -- I'd say their meats, breads, and fruits were all very very good, and their veg and salad game weaker. Their cocktails were fine to really tasty, though on the sweet side. The venue itself is a gorgeous forest with lovely walks, and the buildings are really in nice condition with interesting touches.

When I was at islandwood for a 5th grade field trip it was the best 4 days either out my phone I…read morehad so much fun collaborating with people and just in general finding peace, my favorite part about islandwood is probably the obstacle course where there was a very very tight metal rope you had to walk on to get to one tree or the other. Sadly I didn't finish it because I had to go number 1 really bad. And my leader named Cassidy is the best she deserves a raise because she was so nice and she knew how to treat us and it was so so easy to talk to her I loved it so much.

I earned my 100 ton license with this school some years ago. They are a family owned school and…read moremade me feel like I was part of that family. Since then I have gone on to upgrade to a 1600 ton oceans license and have had a great career so far. I could not have done it without the Crawford family. I would recommend them to anyone. With 2 new STCW requirements coming up January 2017 I will likely be back to take the courses there. Thank you! Captain Eric Dennis

Heart and Soul is an absolute MUST if you live on or come to visit Bainbridge Island. Owned by one…read moreof the most creative people I know, this place has SO MUCH to offer! There are so many options if you want to come create a ceramic piece of art. Adults and kids will both have a blast with all the options they have to offer. Karey (the shop owner) is also incredibly thoughtful with all of the art options she has to offer in the store. So if ceramics aren't your thing, you can always try glass fusing, mosaics, etc. In addition to daily drop in offerings, Karey provides exciting camps for kiddos (both during summer and the school year), with an extensive offering of art options. There are plenty of kid nights planned throughout the year, which my daughter (age 7) LOVES attending! I have also had two birthday parties at Heart and Soul, and Karey worked with me thoughtfully to curate experiences that my children were beyond excited for. You won't want to miss a visit to Heart and Soul for an afternoon or evening of fun!

We spent about…read morean hour there, and everyone learned something new, even the parents (who are knowledgeable about local sea life). The friendly volunteers went out of their way to engage everyone. There are 6 or more aquariums, and two touch tanks. They even have food available to feed the starfish with. After entering, there are interactive displays showing how to measure water health via visibility, and a place to look through a few microscopes at plankton and other organisms. Very cool! Although only open on Saturdays for 4 hours, this is a great place for HCC students to share with and educate others. It's a wonderful place for kids to learn and be excited about learning, hard to believe it's free!
