Wing Point Golf Club Pro Shop Recommended for Approval

The Planning Commission on Thursday, June 11, 2026, recommended approval of the Wing Point Golf and Country Club Pro Shop project. This recommendation, for Site Plan and Design Review and Minor Conditional Use Permit application PLN52754 SPR CUP, now goes to the Planning Director for final consideration (via CivicClerk).

Updates for the Wing Point Golf and Country Club at 811 Cherry Avenue NE include constructing a new 4,000 square foot pro shop, demolishing two storage buildings, and adding a new trash enclosure. Plans also detail a 1,000 square foot freestanding canopy at the driving range, reconfiguring the northern parking area to add six new spaces (including two Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment spaces), and building a new lined stormwater detention pond. A new five-foot sidewalk will connect to the existing Cherry Avenue sidewalk (via CivicClerk).

The City Council met Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at 280 Madison Ave N. The council approved a consent agenda, authorizing the Interim City Manager to accept the Woodward Middle School 120kW PV System Project and transfer ownership to BISD. Council also concurred with the 90% design of the Bainbridge Island Senior/Community Center Redevelopment Project, selecting Carley Construction as contractor. Other approvals included a $200,000 purchase order for a Public Works office trailer (with an $80,000 budget adjustment) and $98,259.92 for three Suzuki Outboard Engines for the Bainbridge Island Police Department boat. Revisions to the Introduction, Cultural, Human Services, Environmental, and Economic elements of the Comprehensive Plan were also approved (via CivicClerk).

During presentations, the council issued proclamations for Juneteenth (to be celebrated July 19, 2026) and for LGBTQI+ Month in June 2026. The 2026 Bainbridge Island Reads book, "Storybook Ending" by Moira McDonald, was announced following a community vote of over 70 people. Events are planned with organizations including the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network, Bainbridge Youth Services, Bainbridge Island Library Branch, and the Bainbridge Island Senior/Community Center. Councilmember Mathews also requested a future presentation from the Kitsap Public Health District on Kratom. The council canceled its June 16, 2026, Study Session, scheduling a Special Business Meeting in its place (via CivicClerk).
