Zach & Lizzie
Things To Do
Streamliner Diner
Streamliner is an island staple for breakfast but get there early because it can get busy. Zach recommends the buttermilk waffle and Lizzie recommends the chicken club sandwich .
Blackbird Bakery
Zach and Lizzie spent many days here in high school, drinking tea and eating toast. Pro tip: get the superchunk cookie.
Cafe Hitchcock
Owned by James Beard award-winning chef, Brendan McGill, Cafe Hitchcock is a great option for everything from for coffee and brunch in the morning to cocktails and small plates in the evening.
Bruciato
Bruciato is a delicious wood-fired pizza restaurant with unique offerings in the heart of Winslow.
Mora Iced Creamery
Mora is a long-time island favorite ice cream spot, and owned by the family of some of our dear friends. Try Lizzie's favorite, raspberry (the ice cream, not sorbet), or Zach's favorites, mint with shaved chocolate and cantaloupe sorbet.
Alehouse
The Bainbridge Brewery Alehouse, and it's sister location, the Brewery and Taproom, are a great place to grab a beer. They offer local brews, ciders, and wine but bring your own food.
Lynwood Center
Lynwood is the perfect spot to spend the evening with locals on the south end because there's something for everyone: pizza and frozen yogurt; fish and chips; pool and darts; and an art house theater where Zach worked in high school.
Bay Hay & Feed
Bay Hay has everything you can imagine, from plants, books, and produce, to dog treats, chicken feed, and their iconic sweatshirts. Spend an afternoon wandering around then have some wine at Rolling Bay Winery and handmade pasta at Via Rosa.
Fay Bainbridge Park
Fay Bainbridge has an unparalleled beach on Bainbridge with views of Mt. Rainier and Seattle on a clear day. Great for a stroll or a picnic.
Battle Point Park
This is a favorite park of Lizzie and Zach's and was one of the locations where they took their engagement photos. Battle Point, which is centrally located on Bainbridge, boasts an exciting playground, duck pond, and perimeter walking path.
Fort Ward Park
Fort Ward has it all: beaches, beautiful old growth, a flat walking path or rugged woods walk; WWII bunkers. This park is a three minute drive from Lynwood Center.
The Bloedel Reserve
Internationally-recognized for the inspirational beauty of its refined gardens, natural landscapes, and preserved forests, Bloedel spans across 150 acres on the north end of Bainbridge. Admission is $22 for adults. Tickets must be purchased online prior to arriving.
Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial
Bainbridge Island's proud Japanese-American history was sorrowfully upended by internment during WWII. This National Parks Memorial pays tribute to the Japanese-American islanders that were forced from their homes, the first in the U.S.
Bainbridge Island Museum of Art
BIMA’s exhibitions feature recognized masters and emerging artists that are sure to leave you inspired by their striking work and thought-provoking themes. It's within walking distance of Winslow, has free admission, and a delicious cafe.
Capitol Hill Neighborhood
Take the light rail from the ferry up to Capitol Hill and check out the neighborhood where Zach and Lizzie lived before moving to Suquamish. Take a stroll through Volunteer Park and then grab a quick lunch at Taco Chukis or Eltana bagels. If you are in the neighborhood for dinner consider checking out Smith, Yalla, or Harry's Fine Foods. For drinks don't miss Optimism brewery, one of Lizzie's favorites in the city or some snazzy cocktails at Herb & Bitter.
Pike Place Market
If it is your first time in Seattle you have to check out the iconic Pike Place Market but even if you are a local you probably love coming here as well. Walk amid bustling stalls of fresh local fish and vegetables as well as historic shops. Wandering and grabbing a bite here and there is our favorite way of perusing (donuts, humbow, piroshky)! If Lizzie has ever served you a cup of her favorite cinnamon orange tea consider heading over to Market Spice and pick up a box. Don't forget to grab a beer at Old Stove Brewery and marvel at the view of Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains while you enjoy your beer.
Suquamish Museum
Learn about the Suquamish Tribe (People of the Clear Salt Water) whose ancestral lands we live on. Check the website or call for seasonal hours.
Butcher & Baker Provisions
If you are out exploring North Kitsap or making your way across Hood Canal to the Olympic mountains there is no better place to stop for brunch or lunch.
