Mother's Day at sea (no driving required)

This Mother's Day, treat mom to a day trip across the
water. And, as a bonus, why not go on foot and use the money saved on vehicle
fare to take her out to lunch? Here’s a list of quaint seaside destinations
you can get to as a walk-on passenger.
Best kept un-secret
Did you know that Mother’s Day through Labor Day we double our service between Port Townsend and Coupeville? Now is a great time to stroll through Washington’s only Victorian seaport. Or, waltz ‘round Coupeville, Whidbey Island’s artsy hideaway.

Psst: if your
car wants to roll on board too, we’ve got you covered with our Save A Spot
vehicle reservation system. Passengers can make reservations on the Pt.
Townsend/Coupeville route online
or by calling 1-888-808-7977.
Big
city getaways on a time crunch
A bunch of Seattle waterfront
restaurants and attractions are offering free or special-priced parking this Mother’s Day. After wheelin’ on the Great Wheel, how
about taking mom out for a spin on the Bainbridge or
Bremerton-bound
ferryboat? While your car stays safely on terra-firma, we’ll whisk you off to
the land across the water.
As walk-on passengers, you can get to
Bremerton and back in just over two hours. Allow 1.5 hours from Seattle to
Bainbridge and back again.
Small
town charm
At just $8, it’s worth the splurge
to splash over to Edmonds or Kingston.
Mom will marvel at Edmonds’ vibrant hanging flower baskets and dozens of
independent shops and cafes.
Nestled along the shores of Apple
Tree Cove, there’s a water view and things to do all around Kingston.
Listen
to mom, plan ahead
Mother’s Day marks the beginning of
our busy season here at Washington State Ferries for walk-on and drive-on
passengers. We’ve made it easy to help follow mom’s advice to know before you go
with terminal cameras and where available, we also provide an estimate of
available spaces aboard upcoming departures.
Have a happy Mother’s Day!
