Why should you take the Bainbridge Island Ferry

I go from Port Orchard to Seattle at least 4 times a month. I take my kids early in the morning to Seattle, a 45-minute ride in which I can take my car with me, drive around Seattle, and be home before 9:00 PM.

The ferry has lots of space, comfy seating, and a small food court if you want to buy coffee or snacks./Seattle
