Question

Can I take a ferry from the Seattle Airport to Ketchikan?

Answer

Absolutely. You can reserve a shuttle from the Seattle airport to take you to the ferry in Bellingham Washington. From there, you will be on the ferry for two days. The ferry is a great experience but it is important to get a stateroom so you have somewhere to rest your head. You can also drive your car on the ferry but you will still need to order a stateroom. Zach and I did this traveling to Ketchikan and we had a great time. Bring Dramamine if you get motion sickness. For more information on the ferry google the Alaska Ferry system as well as Shuttle to the Alaska Ferry.
