One of the best ways to enjoy the Port of Seattle is to hop on a Ferry and take a ride to one of the surrounding islands. It is great to just get on and take the time away from the big city to relax and take in some fresh air. One can find information and ride to the pier from the best seattle hotels .
With in 20 to 30 minutes one can set foot on one of the beautiful islands such as Vashon Island and Bainbridge Island to name a couple. These are the closest islands to visit and they both offer up some lovely places to dine as well as some great galleries and shops to brows through.
It is always a really nice day.
Check out the Washington State Department of Transportation page for information on the Seattle Ferry’s . They do take on motor vehicles and bicycles as well as walk on passengers. If you walk on there are some cabs on the other side to help you get around. They usually take off every half hour or forty five minutes and if it is a bit busy it is well worth the wait.

I highly recommend taking a Ferry when visiting Seattle. The surrounding islands offer such a different experience than the city itself — the views are breathtaking from a ferry deck. It was the highlight of my recent visit.
