Description
It was a beautiful sunset ready to leave Bainbridge Island to Seattle on the Washington State Ferry. This Ferry boat is named the Puyallup. It's a Jumbo Ferry. It's a gorgeous day with Seattle in the background. It's been a fun tripWith gas edging toward $4 a gallon, does anyone really need an excuse to park the car, walk onto a ferry that costs less than a movie ticket and settle back for a half-hour cruise across Puget Sound?Thousands of people travel between Seattle and Bainbridge Island every day, but for those who think of the trip as a commuter run, it helps to remember that the ferry docks at the doorstep of downtown Winslow, an urban hamlet where the air smells not so much of salt as fresh-roasted coffee, cinnamon muffins and rose-petal ice cream. A timber and shipbuilding center with a population bigger than Seattle's in the late 1800s, Bainbridge is a bedroom community of 22,000 residents and the gateway to the Kitsap Peninsula and Hood Canal. Traffic is heavy along Highway 305, the main route crossing the island, but a short walking detour leads to a compact slice of small-town America where everything is no more than a 10- to 15-minute stroll from the ferry dock.This is one of those day trips that works out well last-minute when the out-of-town guests wonder about where to go next, or a sunny weekend morning that calls for an easy-on-the-budget escape from the city. Come Have Lunch Overseas!!!
