The Bainbridge Island Fire Department plans to sell .83 acres of undeveloped land on the south end of the island.
Fire commissioners unanimously voted to surplus the land, which is assessed at $130,000, on April 9.
The department is not using the land that is surrounded by a neighborhood and is zoned residential, said Chief Hank Terran. It was donated to the department for a “nominal amount” in the 1960s.
Although the Bainbridge Island voters recently passed a fire bond to build two new fire stations, the undeveloped property isn’t in the right location for a station, Terran said.
Money from the property sale will go into the department’s capital fund.
