Why Go

Washington State Ferries is the largest ferry system in the country. The Bainbridge run is a favorite of locals and visitors alike, with seals, seabirds and sometimes orcas in the Sound.

Tips

  • Walk on rather than drive, stand on the outside deck, and stroll Winslow's main street before coming back.
