The City of Bainbridge Island, Washington is an environmentally conscious, politically engaged, and affluent community of just over 23,000 residents.  Located on the west side of Puget Sound in Kitsap County, many residents commute to work in the Seattle area by ferry.

The New Energy Cities Team partnered with Bainbridge Island in the summer of 2010, when we wrote Powering the New Energy Future from the Ground Up: Profiles in City-Led Clean Energy Innovation.
