Noel RodriguezOctober 2, 2016Awesome views of the Seattle skyline and natural landscape. $8 to Bremerton but free back to Seattle. 1hr ride each way.
Upvoted 1 week ago- SamNovember 24, 2011The Bainbridge ferry crossing is about 45 min, the Bremerton is 1 hour. Depending on where you're headed and how many ferries you are going to miss, taking one or the other might save you some time.

Download the free WSDOT app to see the ferry cams and know if you'll make the next ferry. ...your welcome. :)
If you have more than a day or two in Seattle and the weather is fine, take a ferry ride. The views are stunning, and Bainbridge Island is charming and cute. A nice getaway from the city!
Efficient service despite massive re-modeling that has been ongoing for over a year. I’m always impressed
Ride an evening ferry to Bainbridge. On the way back get a nice sunset and night time view of the city skyline.
Miss the boat? That happens. Go enjoy a cold beer at Commuter Comforts. The staff is great and the drinks and snacks are tasty.
Buy tickets at the self service kiosks and save time by skipping the line!
Ticket kiosks INSIDE terminal. From elevators, you'll see this blue sign. Unless you only have cash, do NOT turn right. Save yourself a long walk. Go straight to terminal & use credit card at kiosks.
No more official wi-fi aboard the boats, but usually at least one person with a free karma hotspot that you can join.
Sian WuFebruary 9, 2012When you're on the boat, watch for seals, jellyfish, maybe even an orca! (rare) Puget Sound is beautiful, so we need to protect it.
Ride your bike on! You get on the boat first and can beat the rush in the galley. It's also more fun!!
Walk on or ride a bike, especially on Fridays going to Bainbridge or Sundays coming back to Seattle. Waits can be many hours at those times.
The news stand has a great soft drink and popcorn deal. The best value in the building and perfect for the ride to the other side.
Dan ColegroveOctober 20, 2013Use ORCA card at the turnstiles if you don't need a special discount ticket (Sr. etc.)
As the ferry captains have announced upon departure, nobody's going to steal your car during the trip. Don't set your car alarm. It will just annoy everyone who stays on the car deck during the trip.
Shawn CalhounJuly 19, 2023Great way to keep the kids not bored for a few hours. Bring your own snacks 🍬
Seattle Sounders FCMarch 16, 2012Arriving? Welcome to the greatest soccer city in the United States. Leaving? Don't forget to vist SoundersFC.com to plan your next trip to a Sounders match.
Turn OFF your car alarm... The rest of the car deck does NOT need to hear it blaring because you think someone is going to steal your car. We are on a boat crossing ocean water, really it's safe!!!!
If you're on the high traffic boat be sure to get here 20-30 min early
Mark BradyMay 15, 2011If you have an iPad or iPhone you may want to check out NW Ferry in the app store for the latest schedules, fares, alerts, terminal cameras, etc. Read more
Make sure you're early for the afternoon ferries, lest you miss it for the crowd!
Bizzy SchorrApril 25, 2012DO NOT connect to boingo while waiting for the ferry! The switching process from the terminal to the ferry doesn't work & will lock u out.
Gavin AndersonDecember 29, 2022Price has gone up. Seattle-Bremerton crossing is $17.20 each way for car & driver.
With current construction, if coming from I-90, drive north thru downtown (or take collector/distributor to Madison) then left on Madison and left into ferry line. Waiting on Alaska Way takes forever.
On a clear day, the view from the ferries is phenomenal. Reminds me why the Pacific Northwest wins.
Margaret OliverApril 13, 2012Either park and ride or pay a nominal $12+ fee to take your vehicle round trip.
The Social Delivery SystemMay 14, 2012Fantastic day for a boat ride! In route to our new People-Ship.com drop point in Seattle!
KarenSeptember 29, 2019If you need the restroom, you'll have to sneak in to avoid having to buy a ticket to use the restroom.
Daniel MolnarDecember 25, 2015Make sure you roll a $8 per person roundtrip wherever it starts first.
The police finally caught the trailer RV driver in what had to be the longest slow speed chase in the Seattle WSF terminal last night!
Please save us all the hassle and figure out how to use the turnstiles.
Clay GambillOctober 19, 2011Enjoy the view from the aft deck! Great view of Seattle without that wind-blown look.
Try really hard to resist the call of those deliciously crispy and salty French Fries. Just try.
Ben RapsonJune 11, 2010Ooh get some clam chowder and a tuna fish sandwich. Made fresh yesterday and only $22! Aaah ferry food.
