The Washington State Ferry System operates across the Puget Sound and the Salish Sea using 20 different terminals. These terminals are ports for the largest ferry system in the United States. Some of the ferries take vehicles, some are for foot travel only.
Waiting in line to get to the terminal

During our recent road trip with family we traveled extensively on the Olympia Peninsula in the western part of the state. We reached the port of Kingston and prepared to take one of the vehicle ferries on a 30 minute trip across Puget Sound to the port of Edmonds.
We were the first car to board the ferry
Lots of seating in the passenger lounge on the upper deck
We had a two hour wait to board the ferry at Kingston. It seemed like the wait on the road was not long, and we were actually first in line to board as we wanted easy elevator access to the passenger lounge.
This is the second ferry that runs the Kingston/Edmonds route
Downtown Seattle, 27 miles off, Space Needle far right
The rather short voyage was interesting. The scenery was something to see, not what landlocked Hoosiers are used to, that’s for sure. The Seattle skyline on the horizon was impressive, with the well recognized outline of the Space Needle visible 27 miles from our vantage point in the middle of Puget Sound.
