Travel Note
SEATTLE TO ANACORTES Whether you're already living in Seattle or flying into SeaTac Airport, you'll drive north to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal. Make sure to factor in some traffic delays in Everett. 2+ hours BOARDING THE FERRY... Reservations are required to board the ferry - make sure to purchase yours as soon as possible!! Arrive to the ferry terminal 45-60 minutes before your ferry departure time (even with a reservation you should get there early). Board the ferry and enjoy the ride! It's absolutely beautiful! 60 minutes DRIVING TO CAMP: Camp Moran Environmental Learning Center is a 30 minute drive from the Orcas Island Ferry Terminal. There is NO CELL SERVICE at camp, so make sure to pin the location and save the map beforehand. If you need a bite to eat or last minute supplies, stop in the cute town of Eastsound on the way. *PLEASE PARK IN BOTH CAMP MORAN PARKING LOTS (NOT OLGA ROAD) AT THE RECEPTION SITE. PERMITS ARE NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE OUR WEDDING IS YOUR PERMIT :) 4600 Olga Road, Olga, WA

Travel Note
Our favorite way to get around Orcas Island is by bike. It is a very hilly island, but the scenery makes it all worth it. We park our car at one of the parking lots in Anacortes right before the ferry terminal for $5-10/day, load up our bikes with all of our gear, then buy a bike passenger ticket at the passenger terminal. No need to reserve a ticket in advance if you bike on the island.
Travel Note
If long drives + ferry travel isn't your style, you can take a seaplane from Seattle/Lake Union to Rosario Resort, where you can arrange a car to Camp Moran.
