... Read moreRiding the Seattle ferry offers more than just transportation—it provides a unique way to experience the city from the water. As you glide across the Puget Sound, you can enjoy panoramic views of downtown Seattle, Bainbridge Island, and the Olympic Mountains. If you’re a fan of the TV series 'Grey’s Anatomy,' you might feel a special connection because the ferry features in several episodes, adding an extra layer of charm to your ride. Beyond sightseeing, the ferry ride itself is a peaceful escape from the urban hustle. The fresh air, the gentle rocking of the boat, and the scenic backdrop make it an ideal spot for relaxation or reflection. Many locals and tourists alike find that the ferry helps them understand Seattle's unique relationship with waterways and transportation. For those new to Seattle, I recommend carrying a camera to capture the shifting landscapes, or even packing a small picnic to enjoy onboard. The ferry schedules are frequent, allowing you flexibility to explore different routes, such as the popular Seattle to Bainbridge Island or Tacoma routes. Overall, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a resident looking for a refreshing day out, the Seattle ferry ride is an accessible and enriching experience that combines natural beauty, local culture, and a bit of Seattle's storytelling magic.

This was such a cute bookstore. They had so many older vintage books. They had 7 cats that live in the store, all of which were rescues. If you’re ever in the area I 10/10 recommended going. Seattle #catsoflemon8 #books #booksotre #vintage #travel #digitaldiary #newlemonintown #res
