Bainbridge city hall to stay closed until May

Bainbridge Island City Hall and the city’s police station on Winslow Way will stay closed to walk-in services until May 4.

The extended closure is to comply with Gov. Jay Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order, which was extended by Inslee Thursday evening.

City staff will continue to provide city services through electronic submittals, email and phone throughout the duration of the order, officials said.

The Bainbridge Island City Council will meet next week on Tuesday, April 7, but officials noted the gathering will be a virtual meeting with no physical public access. The meeting agenda will be limited to the council receiving a briefing on COVID-19 response efforts.

The meeting can be seen online at https://www.bainbridgewa.gov/1101/City-Council-Agendas. (Click on “In Progress” when the meeting starts.)

The meeting will also be broadcast on Bremerton Kitsap Access Television (Channel 12 on Comcast and Channel 3 on WAVE).

People can also call in to the Zoom meeting as a participant; city officials said details for public access will be available in the April 7 city council agenda when it’s published.
