Despite the strict restrictions on daily life ordered by Gov. Jay Inslee Monday, and a nearly universal reported downturn in business, very few Winslow operations have closed outright in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak on Bainbridge.

Many, however, have altered hours and services so as to minimize social interaction and promote public safety.

Updates are available via signs individual doors and social media outlets, with many businesses still available by phone to answer questions and assist with purchases and deliveries.

The Review did some reconnaissance along Winslow Way and, as of Wednesday afternoon, found the following to reflect the newest changes to downtown business life.

A working list of open businesses is also available via www.bainbridgeisland.com/coronavirus.
