There’s nothing like a beautiful, crisp, Pacific Northwest autumn. And if you have little ones in your life, we’ve found the perfect fall tradition. The annual Bainbridge Gardens Pumpkin Walk is upon us, and it’s a great excuse to visit Bainbridge Island… and walk through a glowing display of hundreds of pumpkins while you’re at it.

Bainbridge Gardens is a family-owned garden center that sits on a historic site on Bainbridge Island.

The annual Pumpkin Walk is fun, festive, and family-friendly.
