Flight
you can take an uber / lyft / taxi directly to the seattle ferry terminal (20 min). if traffic’s bad (or it's just more your speed) you can also take the link light rail to international district station, then walk 6 blocks to the ferry (40 mins). take the ferry to bainbridge island (35 min). ferries run throughout the day and they never run out of foot passenger space (see the latest schedule: https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Ferries/Schedule/schedulebydate.aspx).
Rental Car
take the ferry to bainbridge island (35 min) from the seattle ferry terminal. ferries run throughout the day but the car wait can be astronomical on fridays in the summer—think 2-3 hours—so we’d say hoof it instead (click VIEW below to see the latest schedule). we'll have you covered once you get on the island. there is parking available at islandwood.
Travel Note
make your way to bainbridge brewing company, which is just a block off the ferry. we’ll arrange shuttles to take groups to islandwood from there (after a pint or two, of course). the shuttle will run every 30 minutes from the alehouse from 3:30 - 5:30. after that, a shuttle will be available at the ferry terminal at 6:15 and 7:10 to scoop up anyone catching a later boat. *if you’re arriving later, take a taxi from the bainbridge ferry terminal and meet us at islandwood. we recommend making a reservation in advance with viking cab company, at 360-244-4420. check out the schedule page to learn more about the festivities!
House Or Rental
we’ll have exclusive use of the islandwood campus during our weekend—from cabins and treehouses, to forest trails, a suspension bridge, and more. for lodging, there are four northwest-style lodges, each with bunk-bed style rooms that sleep 1-6 people, heated floors, towels and linens. we invite you to make islandwood your home for the weekend and are so looking forward to celebrating with you. checkin will start @ 4 pm friday and checkout is 11 am sunday, plus lodging covers you for saturday breakfast and lunch and sunday breakfast! IN APRIL, when we have more RSVP's, we'll share the link to reserve a room. There will be enough rooms for everone we invited - don't worry, we'll fit you! FYI - cost of the rooms decreases as you add more people, sharing a room will save you big bucks (if you share a room with 6 total people, it saves you $273/person). we'll do our best to accommodate everyone!
Hotel
if you prefer to stay off-site, there are several vrbo and airbnbs. the closest hotels are the inn at pleasant beach and manor house. please note that if you plan to stay off-site, breakfasts and lunch at islandwood will have a cost, versus staying on site they are free. and obviously, we'd love for you to hang with us all weekend.
