 Late afternoon on the way to
Bainbridge Island by davequ
Look up what time sun is going down at the website below,
Seattle weather & sunset times
and from Seattle catch the Bainbridge ferry west into the sunset.
When you dock at Bainbridge Island, drive (or walk just about a quarter of a mile) up to one of the cafes or diners on or near Winslow Way.
Have a glass or two of wine and maybe some dinner... just make sure you kill an hour or so & don't board the Seattle-bound ferry back until after dark.
Then as you ride the return ferry back across the sound to Seattle,
stand on the front deck in the wind and smell the crisp & cool oyster-like scent off the water,
and marvel at the glowing Seattle night skyline as you cruise past Alki point into Elliott Bay towards the approaching city.
Sound dull?
For me it is one of my most favorite things to do in Seattle, and it is the best $10 you'll ever spend.
Give it a shot.

 Picture of me with the

The boat trips to Tillicom Island are handled by Argosy Cruises. The boat I went on was the Goodtime II Length: 87', Beam: 28'. The professional photographer took a photo of me, and I then took one of him.
The Goodtime II offers two enclosed decks and exterior deck space on the bow. This vessel can provide table seating for a maximum of 150 guests and a recommended maximum of 350 passengers. There are two full-service bars on board.
The Tillicum Village tour includes the boat cruise, salmon buffet dinner, and Northwest Coast Native American dance performance.

Seniors (60+) $62.00
Children (5 -12) $25.00

There was a lot of standing in line to get seated for dinner. The show was somewhat interesting, but the real star was the salmon. I thought I had never tasted better and would probably never taste anything that good again.

You MUST ride on a ferry. They aren't terribly expensive, and it's almost like a little cruise on Puget Sound. Anyway, you can take them from downtown, Fauntleroy to the south, and from Edmonds to the north. There are other places too, some going to Canada and others going through the San Juan Islands. Anyway, take one across the sound to the Olympic Penninsula (and then do some more exploring over there!!). It's a trat... stand on the front of the ferry and just let the fierce wind blow at your face as you look out across the Sound. I love it! BRING A JACKET! Even in summer, the temperature was pretty cool out on the Sound, especially with the wind. Leave a Comment

Take a ferry to Vashon Island. The ride is beautiful, you can walk on the beach and see Sea Anemonies. The green growth and flowers there is amazing. There is a youth hostel there that is comfortable. Leave a Comment
