Friday "Island Day" - Ride the Ferry!
9:15 am - 11:00 am
Anacortes Ferry Terminal, Anacortes, WA 98221
Casual - have a jacket or raincoat because this is western Washington.
The ferry ride to the town of Friday Harbor on San Juan Island is beautiful! You may bring your car if you like, but if you have never ridden Washington ferries: taking a car on the ferry is expensive and car reservations sometimes completely book out. We encourage guests to park cars at the Ferry Terminal and purchase "Walk-On Tickets," which are cheaper and do not require advanced reservations. We will let you know which morning ferry Elisabeth and Colton will take to Friday Harbor, but you're welcome to catch any ferry you want. Here is the page where the ferry schedules will be posted (the October 2025 schedule is not yet up). Ferry schedule: https://wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/scheduledetailbyroute.aspx?route=ana-sj
