Old victorian town with great architecture and shopping. The Puget Sound Express (whale watching) leaves from here, and Centrum has a robust year-round arts program. If you're here in the evening, check out the historic Rose movie theatre and Finistere for delicious French cuisine. Pane D'Amore bakery is the best!

There is so much to do and see in Seattle...but here are a few attractions within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal
Space Needle and International Fountain at Seattle Center
Seattle Aquarium
Historic Pioneer Square
Seattle Art Museum
Pike Place Market
Chihuly Garden and Glass
Uwajimaya
And, of course, shopping!
You can drive on the Bainbridge ferry, but we recommend parking this side of the water and walking on to avoid the hassle/price of parking in the City. Kingston Fast Ferry is easiest but only runs commuting days/hours (park at Viking Way park and ride and take #307 bus over to save a few $ on parking).
Alternatively, take Bainbridge Island Ferry right into downtown. It’s free heading into town, you pay only on the return leg. Parking at the ferry is about $12-15/day, but may be worth the convenience.
