I loved the ferry rides we took in Seatle. They are part of the mystique that is Seatle, as much as the Space Needle, or Pike Place market, or the view of Mt. Ranier floating in the distance on a clear day. If you don't take the ferry somewhere during your stay in Washington State, you're missing the point!

I took a fairy from Seattle to Bainbridge Island and it was one of the best experiences I had. It was foggy and overcast when we left Seattle, but about halfway to Bainbridge Island the fog burned off and it was gorgeous. The ferry ride back was great because we could see for miles. I stood out on the observation deck the whole time, so I was freezing, but it was well worth the amazing pictures I took.

When I make a trip to Seattle, which is almost every year,there are 4 places I don't miss. Riding a Washington State Ferry to one of many locations is on my trip of things to do every trip.
Drive your car on to the ferry and park. Purchase a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for your relaxing trip across the Puget Sound. See the skyline ...

When I visited this site a couple of years ago, it was easy and fruitful to find the ferry schedules. This time all you wanted to do was tout some hotel for me. So I'll go elsewhere.
