We love, love, love the WA state ferries. You can go for a day trip to Bainbridge Island to have lunch or to Vashon Island. Other ferries launch from other locations and head to many of the other islands and over to the Peninsula. Well worth the effort and quintessential Seattle.

Seattle is surrounded by a lot of small-town islands. A fav is Bainbridge Island. You board the car ferry in downtown Seattle and take a 20-minute ferry ride over. Good for lunch, shopping, and exploring. A nice way to get out on the Puget Sound.
