Whether you're flying in from out of town or coming from Seattle or nearby, we want to help you navigate the way! We have tried to include helpful information below, but please don't hesitate to reach out for help with planning your trip. Below you'll find ferry options, plus guidance on getting here if you're flying in.

Ferries

Summer wait times to drive your car onto the ferry can reach 3 hours. We want you to make it to our wedding so it's a good idea to leave early if you're able (check out "Things to Do" and make it a day or a weekend) - and take a look at some of the alternative options laid out below.

Edmonds > Kingston Ferry

If you don't want/need to have a car on the other side, we recommend parking in Edmonds and walking onto the Kingston ferry - there's no wait for walk ons. There's plenty of paid parking on the Edmonds side. We'll arrange a shuttle for you to get to Indianola. If you're driving on or walking on, in order to arrive in time for the ceremony you'll need to catch the 2:25 ferry.

Seattle > Bainbridge Island Ferry

Departs from Coleman Dock in downtown Seattle. The 2:10 ferry is the latest ferry you should catch to make it in time - or come earlier and check out the Things to Do page! Note that we won't have a shuttle from Bainbridge, so walk-on passengers would need to arrange a carpool to our place. (See Carpool section.)

Seattle > Kingston Fast Ferry (Pedestrian Only)

A fast ferry runs directly from Seattle to Kingston Monday through Saturday only. The last Saturday sailing is at 10:25 PM, and we'll arrange a shuttle for guests who want to take that boat. You could also stay until Monday or coordinate a carpool with guests taking the Bainbridge ferry the next day. (See Carpool section.)

Flying In

Most out-of-town guests will fly into SeaTac Airport. From there you can rent a car and drive to a ferry terminal, or take transit.

Paine Field in Everett (Axel's hometown!) is another option, if you plan to rent a car.

Getting to the Ferry from SeaTac

By car:

1) Driving Around

If you'd rather skip the ferry entirely, driving around is a solid option - it's predictable and often faster. From SeaTac, it's about 1 hour 30 minutes without traffic. You'll cross the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (small toll). From the Seattle area, add your drive time to Tacoma.

2) Drive to Edmonds (~45 min without traffic) or Seattle (~30 min) and get on your preferred ferry. See the Ferries section above.

3) Ride the Link Light Rail to Pioneer Square Station, a few blocks from both Coleman Dock (Bainbridge Ferry) and the Kingston Fast Ferry terminal.

4) By shuttle - The Dungeness Shuttle runs directly from SeaTac to Kingston, with limited departure times. If you can make the timing work, we can get you the rest of the way from Kingston.

Parking at the Venue

Parking is limited and some walking will be required. We'll send specific parking instructions once everyone has RSVPed and we can coordinate logistics.

Carpooling

We encourage carpooling! Here's a site where you can offer rides and let people know you're looking for a ride.
