Over 50 volunteers have worked for nearly two years with three governmental agencies to develop The Waypoint, which will be dedicated this fall. Located at the site of a former gas station, The Waypoint will serve as a welcoming area for visitors and residents of Bainbridge Island, reflecting the island's history and sense of place. Designed by architect John Paul Jones and built by PHC Construction for $380,000, The Waypoint fundraising was launched by a $80,000 matching gift from the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island. Upon completion, The Waypoint will be maintained by the Bainbridge Island Metro Park and Recreation District.
