Edmonds-Kingston Ferry

As Bruce and I started out on our mini-vacation, we headed over to the Olympic Penninsula from Edmonds to Kingston on the ferry, Spokane.  Above is a shot of the Puyallup Ferry heading back to Edmonds, taken from the car deck on the Spokane. 

Since 1951 the only ferries employed on the route have belonged to the Washington State Ferry system, currently the largest ferry system in the United States.  On Labor Day 1969, the San Mateo became the last steam ferry on the West Coast of the United States and it made its final run on this route.  

Currently, the two regularly scheduled ferries on the route are the Puyallup and the Spokane.  In general, it takes 30 minutes to go from one terminal to the other.
