Washington State Ferries: Adventure awaits

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is the largest public operating ferry system in the U.S. The iconic ferry boats have been featured in popular shows like Grey’s Anatomy, and taking a ride on one is a rite of passage for any Pacific Northwest newcomers.

We spent a day on the Seattle-Bainbridge route taking in the views, learning about the history of the ferries + the challenges the system faces with a lack of maritime workers, and what riders should know about their routes, tickets, and experience aboard.

Thanks ‪@wsdot‬ and WSF for letting us ride-along!
