The Vashon North-End Ferry is such a convenient travel mode to get from W Seattle, to the Island and back! I realized this during my planning for a day bike ride on the island. Turns out... reservation times were critical for planning my day. Check it out... the scheduled times were met, within 20 mins or so for all 4 of my trips. The 2 times they were running late, it worked out to my advantage, cus we were late too! I used my bike when crossing, so being first in line ahead of the motorcycles and cars is cool, but boy it can be a sprint off the boat! That was way fun... And unexpected. The watercraft is clean, quiet, and has plenty of comfortable seating inside and out. Snacks and drinks, via vending machines were on board, but very pricey. Clean restrooms as well are provided. Tying the bikes with the provided hanging ropes, was quite helpful and secured the bikes just fine. I have to admit...I was a tad nervous tying mine up to the rail, as there was a restored, all electric, classic car within 3 feet of my bicycle. Please, please don't fall over... It didn't. My knot tying skills prevailed. The last returning ferry to the mainland is late, so you can enjoy a full day over there. It's a great opportunity to visit with family while riding, take in the views or a sunset, or maybe get some undisturbed remote work done. But ya better be productive, as it's a very short ride. Make sure to get your Orca Card, (Safeway in W Seattle)and preload it prior to boarding. Or, just get your tickets at the conveniently located kiosks. Prices are fair & so worth it!

Two kayakers were spotted flipped over just after launch. The captain stopped the ferry and remained stationary until the crew had ensured the kayakers were taken to safety.

It's my home and a day doesn't go by that I am not grateful.

Beautiful and calm on most days...this ferry stop is always quick when going West to Southworth...East or Fauntleroy bound may experience delays. Plan on 45 mins and it will usually be correct

When you depart from Fauntleroy West Seattle to Southworth it is 12.75$ for car and driver, each adult passenger is 7.10$. When departing Fauntleroy to Vashon its 16.40$ for car and driver, each adult passenger is 5.95 When departing Southworth to Fauntleroy its 12.75$ for car. Walk on and car passengers pay nothing. When departing Southworth to Vashon its 16.40$ for car and driver, 5.95$ each passenger. All fees are round trip to Vashon so no ticket is necessary to leave Vashon in either direction... Its confusing and the prices go up in the summer months
Honestly a rental is your best bet since you can travel on and off the ferry. Finding rides on Vashon won't be as easy as the city, but you can manage to find an Uber or Lyft, just might take a while.
Go to the WSDOT Website on the left side of the page under Ferries click "Get the Schedule" that is the easiest way otherwise it can be tricky to find.
Yes they transport cars
A Washington State Ferry transports cars and passengers to various locations all around Puget Sound. There is a location to catch a Ferry out to Vashon Island that leaves from Southworth landing on the north end and one out of Point Defiance docking on the south.
