We offer organizing services to people who feel overwhelmed by
their stuff. We work side-by-side with you in your home to help
you get organized. Our philosophy is that all of your clutter comes
from your past, and that by clearing it out you can “make room for
your future”.
Founded in Southern California in 1995, GoWireless has strived to
be a driving force in the wireless industry. With the rapid growth
and ever changing technology, it has always been our corporate
vision to enrich people's lives through wireless communications
while providing exceptional customer service.With over 300 stores
coast to coast, we are accomplishing our goals.
Sandra started working as a professional organizer in 2003. She
was a founding member and secretary of the Seattle Area Chapter
of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). In
2005 she formed Empty Your Nest LLC and trained five organizers, three of whom have gone on to start organizing companies of
their own. Helping people who consider themselves “hoarders”,
“messies” or “chronically disorganized” is her specialty. She is also
a downsizing expert. She is a member of NAPO, as well as the
Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD).
Because of our outstanding partnership with Verizon Wireless, we
are able to offer our customers quality products and services on
the nation's largest 4G LTE network. We pride ourselves on delivering industry leading customer service - online, over the phone
and in person. Because of our commitment to our customers,
we are able to offer exclusive, one of a kind packages such as the
GoAdvantage and Ready 2 Go. These exciting offers make sure our
customers stay powered, connected and protected!

phone consultation.

a military discount.

dedicated to our customers. It is because of this that we have built

A new generation of farmers and winemakers have recently reopened an established island vineyard and winery under the new
ownership and a new name: Bainbridge Vineyards. We tend to our
seven acres of grapes on working Bainbridge Island farmland, and
are committed to using sustainable agricultural practices. Made
with varietals originally from European wine growing regions similar to our own, such as the French Loire Valley, Alsace, and parts of
Germany, our 100% estate-grown wines are an expression of the
beauty and territory of the Puget Sound.We invite you to come and
experience our range of offerings, from our driest “seafood friendly” white, to our Pinot Noir, to our raspberry dessert wine. Our
farmstead vineyards and winery is open every Saturday and Sunday
from 12 pm to 5 pm for tastings and wines by the glass. Bring a
picnic to enjoy during the warmer months!
When she was 11 years old, Lisa Newnham’s family moved to Bainbridge. While growing up on the island, pets played an important
role in family life. Following graduation from Bainbridge High, she
was first a Husky, then a Cougar before finally becoming a Doctor
of Veterinary Medicine.
In 2003 Dr. Lisa Newnham returned home to start a practice that
set very high standards for patient and client care. She wanted her
practice to be known for teaching clients about their pet’s health
and individualizing veterinary care to meet the needs of the entire
family. She has dedicated her practice to maximizing the number of
happy, healthy years her patients spend with their families.
At Companion Animal Wellness Center, she’s put together a team
of veterinary professionals who take the time to listen. We believe
the first step to providing high quality veterinary care is to understand the big picture of your pet’s life with you.
‘
We’re located just a mile north of the Agate Pass bridge on Lemolo
Shore Drive with evening appointments available Tuesday/Wednesday and 8 am appointments available on Monday/Thursday. We’re
currently welcoming new clients and hope your family will soon be
one of them.

After spending nearly 40 collective years in the financial services
industry working for large broker dealers, Christopher Canorro,
Dimitri Uhlik, and Gregory Talcott launched Basilica Wealth Management, Inc. on Bainbridge Island in June. Through their experiences serving clients and their multitude of unique situations,
Basilica Wealth Management’s founders saw an opportunity to
change the industry. Mr. Talcott, Basilica’s Chief Investment Officer
said, “Clients don’t have one size fits all lives and they don’t need
a one size fits all solution from their broker”. That led to the creation of Relationship Architect ™, a program that allows investors
to fully customize every aspect of the services they receive, right
down to the price. These strong, personalized relationships are
the cornerstone of generational wealth management where clients
create plans that strive to deliver long term sustainability for
their loved ones, heirs and charitable endeavors. Basilica Wealth
Management is located at: 755 Winslow Way E Suite 200. Phone:

Photography is all about light and capturing the moment. I'll never
forget a rugged hiking trip on Vancouver Island. After several hours
of bush whacking through dense rain forest, I emerged on a rarely
visited beach as the sun was setting. My friend hiking with me ran
to the highest point, a wave pummeled rock. I snapped my shutter
once, capturing my friend running a hand through her long blond
hair, looking out to the Pacific, and beautifully silhouetted by the
warm setting sun. These are the moments I live for, and am weekly
presented with them through my photography business. I am honored to capture photographs of little ones and their family's simple
love and joy in the beautiful Northwest. I wouldn't trade my job for
anything.
Nourish LLC- aka Nourish with Andrea - is a personalized and
professional health coaching business dedicated to assisting busy
professionals and their families restore balance, health and happiness in their lives through food. Certified Holistic Health Coach
and active member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, Andrea Addington has a very unique approach to health

A bottle floating in the ocean is just debris. Place a well written
message inside of it and you can sell products, unite people, inspire,
and even get yourself off a deserted island. But, the message has to
be well written.
Barrecor offers a challenging and fun full body workout. Our
methods improve your posture, tone, and strengthen your whole
body. Each 1 hour class includes elements of Yoga, Pilates and
Ballet. Clients see noticeable improvements in as little as 4 weeks.
No gimmicks. Just real work, expert support and a whole lot of
fun!
That’s where I come in! I’m a Bainbridge freelance writer with
over seven years of professional writing and editing experience. I
have been drafting messages for years now. While to my knowledge, none have ever actually been placed in a bottle, they have
been displayed on web pages, marketing materials, emails, feature
stories, newsletters, blogs, etc. I have written these messages for
businesses, people, animals and superheroes (yes, even animals and
superheroes).
Allow me to assist and your life becomes easier. Your work product
and business becomes more efficient and powerful. Your solutions
become more creative. I’m a highly skilled and multifaceted professional ready to assist you in getting your writing needs accomplished now.

INHEALTH IMAGING INSTALLS STATE OF
THE ART MRI AND CT TECHNOLOGY
We understand the wood floors our customers choose today will
last generations. As wood flooring professionals we do our best to
stay well informed in the latest industry information. We are dedicated to helping our clients through the process, giving each home
the attention to detail and above standard skill to deliver beautiful
wood floors that will last a lifetime.
InHealth Imaging has installed the only 3Tesla MRI on the
West Sound and a Low Radiation 64-Slice CT Scanner. These
two new pieces of equipment have now been installed in InHealth
Imaging’s Poulsbo office (the 3T MRI needed to be lifted off a
truck and into the building by a 55-ton crane) which means that
the radiologists and staff at InHealth Imaging are now offering the
most advanced MRI and CT imaging services available. The 3T
MRI offers maximum comfort, optimized exam time, and the confidence that the images generated will be of the highest resolution,
and additionally there is no concern about radiation with MRI. It is
very, very fast and very precise. As well, with one foot of spacious
headroom patients won't feel like they are nose to nose with the
top of the magnet. This means the tight confines in older MRIs are
a thing of the past. The primary benefits of the new 64-slice CT
at InHealth Imaging is that it provides patients lower radiation,
advanced imaging capabilities, and more comfort with a much larger opening. InHealth Imaging LLC is a private, outpatient medical
doctor's practice founded by Dr. Manfred Henne.
We are proud to say that 95% of new business comes from referrals and we will continue to do our best to keep it this way. Our
goal is to continue to grow with this community and enhance the
lives of those living in it.
