Bainbridge Island to Seattle

View of Seattle skyline and mountains from the ferry

We left Bainbridge Island on Leap Day!  I had planned to post something clever for that day but by the time we gathered our belongings and fed the lamb for the last time, I ran out of time.

We took the ferry from Winslow (on the Island) to Seattle.  This is a shot of the ferry arriving at Bainbridge Island.  You can see the cars on the lower level...they drive off the ferry as the walk-on passengers exit via a walkway from the upper level.  All very organized.   You can ride the ferry from Bainbridge Island to Seattle as a walk on passenger for no charge at all.  There is a charge to return but it's nominal.

If you look closely, you'll see the Space Needle through the left window and the Seattle skyline through the right.  I took these pics with my phone camera...am coming to the conclusion that it's a better camera than my actual camera!

My sister and brother-in-law were waiting for us...we headed north to Mount Vernon where we'll be spending a few days.

As we were sailing along the interstate highway we passed the Space Needle and I captured this shot through the car window!

So we're here until Monday when we'll hop back on the Empire Builder (Amtrak) and head back to Minnesota.

I'm not sure what the next few days will hold but if anything of interests happens, I'll be sure to post about it.

Stay tuned.
