If you're coming from out of town, you'll likely fly into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Seatac is a large international airport with rental car options and everything else you'd expect. If you're flying in from California keep you eyes peeled for great views of Crater Lake in Oregon and Mt. Rainier right before you get into Seattle

The simplest way to get to the venue would be to use Seattle's excellent ferry system.

There is a ferry terminal right in downtown Seattle that you can drive or walk on. From there, it's a 35 minute scenic ride through the Puget Sound to the Bainbridge Ferry terminal. Once at the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal, it's a 10-15 minute drive to the venue.

The ferry schedule can be seen here and there's departures every 40-50min.

Tickets can be purchased here up to 90 days in advance. This means you can get a ticket on April 13th if you plan to ferry over on Friday, July 11th.

The ferry is a first come first serve system, so you'll either buy a ticket when you get there or before and then queue with other cars until you're ushered to drive onto the ferry. Once on you can leave your car and get a great view of Seattle and the islands of the Puget Sound. You'll then drive off of the ferry in Bainbridge and head over to the venue.

Tom & Alita have seen orcas breaching on one of these ferries so keep your eyes peeled!

If you don't want to get on a boat or if you're a big fan of civil engineering history, you can drive around the sounds and across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (AKA Gallopin' Gertie). This is a scenic ~2hr drive from the airport through Tacoma and will take you through many of the small towns on the islands of the Puget Sound.

If you aren't driving or don't have a rental car, you will be able to take the light rail from SeaTac airport to the ferry terminal in downtown Seattle. From there you can walk onto the ferry, take it across the sound, and then find a ride from the ferry terminal in Bainbridge to Islandwood. Bainbridge doesn't have a ton of Uber or Lyft drivers. There are some, but it's a bit unreliable.

The best option for getting to IslandWood on Friday is using one of the below local Bainbridge services:

1. BI RIDE run by Kitsap Transit is a $2 shuttle service that runs all over the island but it doesn't run on Sundays

2. Karen Noury (206-549-1934) is a local driver and is very responsive

3. Car Service on Bainbridge (206-746-8061)

4. Taxis & Tours (206-842-7660)

The best option for getting from IslandWood back to the ferry terminal on Sunday is either:

One of the above options

or

Signing up during Friday's checkin to carpool to the ferry terminal with one of the guests who has extra room in their car. 50% of our guests are either local or will have a car. For those with extra room, we are asking that they take other guests back to the ferry terminal on Sunday. You will be able to sign up for carpool spots when you check-in on Friday. Once you get back to Seattle on the ferry, there will be tons of available Ubers & Lyfts to take you to your next destination.
