Hospitality Vignettes with Susan: Teach Me How to Ferry

If you’ve been in our neck of the woods, you know the Washington State Ferry is a HUGE part of the San Juan experience! Check out this week’s vlog as Susan covers everything you need to know before embarking on the inter-island ferry run. Plus, tips on how to spend your time aboard!

Something many visitors don’t realize is that the Inter-Island Ferry Route is FREE to walk-on. Though we do recommend having a vehicle to conveniently peruse the neighboring islands, if you want an inexpensive day trip the Inter-Island ferry is perfect for you. You’ll be sure to get your steps in!
