Travel Note

Bainbridge Ferry

The Bainbridge ferry departs from the downtown Seattle waterfront. The schedule is linked below, but during a holiday weekend they can get so backed up the schedule doesn't mean very much. If driving, we recommend arriving at least 1 hour prior to the time listed for a better chance of making it onto the boat. If the boat fills, you will wait at the ferry terminal for the next boat about an hour later. The ferry ride itself is about 35 minutes, and our venue is 20 minutes from the Bainbridge ferry terminal. The website with ferry times is linked above. For those who would like to drive back to Seattle at the end of the night, the last boat departs Bainbridge at about 1am.

Travel Note

Edmonds-Kingston Ferry

The Edmonds-Kingston ferry may be more convenient for guests coming from areas north of downtown Seattle. The ferry schedule is linked below, but as with everything, is subject to delays or back-ups - especially on a holiday weekend. If driving, we recommend arriving at least 1 hour prior to the time listed for a better chance of making it onto the boat. If the boat fills, you will wait at the ferry terminal for the next boat about an hour later. The ferry ride itself is about 30 minutes, and our venue is 30 minutes from the Kingston ferry terminal. The website with ferry times is linked above. For those who would like to drive back to Edmonds at the end of the night, the last boat departs Kingston at about 12am.

Flight

Seattle-Tacoma Airport and Link Light Rail

For guests arriving by flight, it may be easiest to skip renting a car altogether! The Link Light Rail will take you from the airport to Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle in about 30 minutes. From the Pioneer Square Station it's a 10 minute walk to the passenger terminal of the Bainbridge ferry. If staying at the Clearwater, a shuttle will then pick you up from the other side and take you to the resort. Talk about door to door service!

House Or Rental

Airbnb

New to Airbnb? Use the link provided to save $40 on your stay! Search for homes in Poulsbo or Bainbridge on the weekend of our wedding (9/3 to 9/5) and select the appropriate filters to accommodate your needs. If you rent a house and prefer not to drive on the night of the wedding (our STRONG recommendation!), you may arrange a taxi service for a ride back to your Airbnb. Ride share services like Uber are only sparsely available in the area.
