Ferries
and ferry travelers are integral to the economy of Seattle
- a sophisticated Washington State city located on the shores
of two large lakes and flanked by Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier.
Seattle welcomes millions of business and vacationing visitors
each year and many of them choose to schedule a ferry trip
while visiting "the Emerald City"
With
a reputation for hard work and equally hard play Seattle is
the home of industry giants Boeing, Microsoft, Nordstroms
and Starbucks.
From sailing & skiing to the Seattle Art Museum and Fifth
Avenue Theater the diversity of Seattle's' amenities combined
with more than 7,000 downtown hotel rooms contribute to making
the city one of the best places in the Northwest to both live
and to visit.

of the best way to see the natural beauty of Seattle is from
the water: and 2 Seattle based operators provide daily year-round
