About the terminal
The northern of Vashon Island's two slips faces both sides of the sound at once: 20 minutes east to Fauntleroy in West Seattle, 10 minutes west to Southworth on the Kitsap Peninsula. The island has no bridge, so every vehicle on it arrived by boat, either here or at Tahlequah at the far southern end. Neither crossing from this terminal carries a fare in the outbound direction, both being ticketed as returns and paid for on the mainland side. Neither takes reservations, so vehicles load in the order they reach the slip.
