About the terminal

One of only two crossings in the state network that accepts vehicle reservations runs from here: 30 minutes over Admiralty Inlet to Coupeville on Whidbey Island, 8 km off. Drivers without a reservation take their chance on whatever space is left. The fare is charged in both directions, unlike the island crossings further north, where the outward ticket covers the return leg as well. The town sits at the north-eastern corner of the Olympic Peninsula, and the boat saves a long drive south around Hood Canal and back up over the bridge at Deception Pass for anyone bound for Whidbey.
