The Washington State Ferry is your vessel to the sparkling waters and cityscapes of Puget Sound. Passengers encounter snow-capped mountains, salty air, and if they're lucky, leaping Orca whales. Once ashore, make a date exploring Seattle's diverse neighbors, such as the island culture of the San Juans. After all, the Seattle Visitor's Guide lists taking a ferry as "The Most Romantic Thing to Do in Seattle."
WSF is the largest ferry system in the United States, offering many routes throughout Puget Sound, San Juan Islands, and even British Columbia in Canada. And it's all accessible from Pier 52 on the downtown waterfront, where travelers can eat and enjoy a glass of wine at several restaurants. More than 26 million people journey with Washington State Ferries every year. No wonder it's called Puget Sound's marine highway.
