Board as walk-on passengers at Colman Dock in downtown Seattle; on the 35-minute crossing you can stand on deck watching the skyline shrink and gulls chase the boat, and a 5-minute walk from the terminal brings you to Winslow's bookstore, ice cream, and the Waterfront Park playground.

💡 Tips
Walk-on passengers pay only once, departing Seattle (about $10 round trip for adults, free under 18); the return boarding is free. Head to the deck in good weather, but bring a jacket for the wind.
