Our worst of times is the best of times | LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:

I experienced a mixture of bemusement and gratitude upon reading “Website names Bainbridge as state’s ‘10th worst’ city.”

Bemusement for learning we islanders did not have things people wanted, having just walked from a performance at the prestigious Seattle Opera and rode the ferry full of my neighbors having walked from seeing our NFL Champion Seattle Seahawks.

I stopped into our fabulous, remodeled T&C, picked up just what I wanted for dinner, ate and then walked to our great library to attend an amazing Island Theatre performance of “Copenhagen” directed by our own talented Kate Carruthers. All this in just a matter of several hours.

Gratitude because we have so much more on the island and immediately adjacent. Gratitude that others are promoting “Lesser Bainbridge” for our benefit.
