Do you ‘collect’ rides on transit? Well, here’s one that probably won’t be repeated in your lifetime- the free passenger ferry that will cross Hood Canal for six weeks starting on the first of May.
Connecting buses in Clallam County are shown here and the state web page for the ‘water shuttle’ is here. At the state website you can find links to Kitsap Transit, which can get you from Bainbridge, Kingston, or Bremerton to the water shuttle, and Jefferson County Transit, which can get you to Port Townsend.
Or, you could go to Port Angeles and take a ferry to Victoria…
Just don’t delay- the window of opportunity closes in the middle of June, probably forever.
And lets not forget the other unique ferry service during the Bridge Closure: The Sun-Thur evening round trip from Edmonds to Port Townsend and return. It appears it is for trucks and walk-ons only. Might be a nice evening cruise in June.
And- should you make it as far as Victoria- there is a four-hour train ride available to Courtenay on Vancouver Island, on a train called the Malahat. More information here.
