Not only do we subsidize this nonsense with our taxes, but the ferries are poorly maintained, provide terrible service, charge exorbitant fees, etc. The WA St Ferries could not survive in a competitive market.

We took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island with and without a car. It was hassle free. Only a 1/2 hour ride and very smooth going.

I got to drive onto the ferry and I got to admit, it was fun being my 1st time. We then went up top for a quick beer and beautiful view. They had a huge café but you can also bring your own food. It was a rainy day and such a relaxing ride.

An excellent return trip on the ferry to Bainbridge today. Lots of brilliant views and photo opportunities.Its a short stroll into Bainbridge centre which has some excellent shops and cafe's. The ferries are very good value for money, do not miss a trip on one of these on your next Seattle visit.

The ferry ride to Bainbridge Island was amazing. Of all the sights we saw in Seattle we enjoyed the views from the ferry the most. When we purchased our tickets we were given the schedule & island info as well. So glad we made time for this ride/visit, it was wonderful!!

We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island, beautiful scenery, Bainbridge island pleasant little place and very friendly ladies in the wool and embriodary shop, they have a map so there visitors can pin where you are visiting from, a fun thing to do.

The ferry ride is gorgeous - the water was smooth as glass in spite of the wind and you get great views of the Seattle cityscape. There is a farmer's market on Saturdays, a cute town to explore, and a lovely Waterfront Trail that you don't need sneakers to walk (I went in loafers).

Even though this is "just" a public transit system they provide a easy, clean and safe way to travel the waters around Seattle. We really enjoyed our travels on the Ferry system.

The largest ferry system in the country, they provide commuters and tourists a great means of transportation. The downside is that their terminals and ferries are in no way comparable to the nearby more well-appointed British Columbia ferry system.
