City Administrative Facilities Closing at 2 PM & BIGWEELS Team Activated

The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Bainbridge Island until 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 6.

City facilities are closing at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, February 5 due to inclement weather. BIPD and Public Works crews will continue operating as necessary.

The City of Bainbridge Island carefully evaluates conditions before deciding to delay the opening of City facilities (including City Hall, the Municipal Court, and Police administration) or close them entirely. We monitor roadway conditions, communicate with school districts and other Kitsap County agencies, and keep a close watch on changing weather forecasts.

We also keep in mind that 70% of our workforce commutes from off-island. We consider the following factors:
• Current and forecasted weather conditions
• Road conditions across Bainbridge Island and Kitsap County
• Kitsap County school delays or closures
• Safety of employees and the public

Bainbridge Island Police and Public Works crews will continue operating as necessary to maintain safety on Island roads.

Additionally, the BIGWEELS team of volunteers has been activated to support essential transportation and deliveries today and tomorrow.

If you or someone you know needs help, direct them to the Google Form linked below (share the link around). Upon submission, one of our "dispatchers" will reach out and match the requestor up with someone who can assist with their request.
