Other Washington State Ferries for Port Townsend Area Travelers

The WA State Ferry system is fairly extensive in order to negotiate the water bodies of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Salish Sea, and the Puget Sound.

You can certainly travel east to Seattle by car from either Port Townsend or Port Angeles if you don’t mind traveling south, crossing the Tacoma Narrows bridge (toll), and then north to Seattle. This is cheaper than paying the ferry toll, but it is also a pain for both your backside and the time in your vacation schedule.

Instead, drive by car to Bainbridge Island or to Bremerton, and catch ferries to Seattle or points east from either of these towns. They both dock at the downtown Seattle terminal.

Another ferry to use if your destination is east and north is the Kingston to Edmonds ferry.

NOTE: Foot passengers traveling from the Olympic Peninsula to Seattle travel for free; toll is required for the return trip. Motor vehicles pay both ways.
