About the terminal

Two crossings leave the downtown waterfront, both bound for the Kitsap Peninsula: 35 minutes to Bainbridge Island and an hour to Bremerton. Neither serves a place cut off from the road network, Bainbridge being bridged to the peninsula at Agate Pass, so both boats compete against a long drive south around Puget Sound through Tacoma rather than replacing one altogether. Fares appear on the westbound crossings out of Seattle and not on the runs back, and neither route takes vehicle reservations. The city's other slip, Fauntleroy in West Seattle, lies 10 km south and serves an entirely different set of places.
