Bainbridge Island

The crossing is half the reason to go. Winslow, at the other end, is the other half.

1h 30m on the ground 35 min each way from downtown

The ferry leaves Colman Dock downtown and takes about thirty-five minutes across Puget Sound. Winslow's main street runs a few blocks up from the dock: bookshop, bakeries, a distillery, and the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial a short walk south — Bainbridge residents were the first in the country to be forcibly removed in 1942.

The timetable runs the day. Sailings are roughly every fifty to seventy minutes, and missing one costs you an hour, so we build backwards from the return you need.

What our drivers would tell you

  • We can drive on with you, or you walk on and we meet you the other side — walking on is faster and cheaper and we will say so.
  • Bloedel Reserve, 150 acres of gardens, is ten minutes from the dock if you want more than the town.
