Seabold Neighborhood Overview

Seabold sits on the northwestern reaches of Bainbridge Island, shared in many conversations with the neighboring Manzanita area. It’s a place of tranquil maritime charm and pastoral beauty, framed by tall evergreens, sweeping water views, and large, private properties.

The neighborhood boasts a diverse architectural character: from rustic farm cottages tucked into forested lots to elegant waterfront estates with Olympic Mountain and Puget Sound views. While many homes are secluded, Seabold also benefits from gentle community energy — quiet roads, generous lots, and a strong sense of heritage and place.

Historically, Seabold is anchored by Seabold Hall, a structure dating to 1893 that once served as a schoolhouse and later a gathering place. Today, it’s preserved as a community venue — maintained under the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District — hosting events, classes, and local groups.

On the environmental side, Seabold lies close to the rugged shoreline of the island’s north end. The Seabold Water Association has even been part of a city-led investigation into possible seawater intrusion in its wells — evidence of how deeply the community interacts with its coastal setting.

All told, Seabold feels like a retreat: a place where privacy, calm, and connection to nature reign, yet you remain within reach of the broader island and its amenities.
