Each day this week while I’m in Seattle for Railvolution there will be a brief post about some cool transportation-related thing in that city.

Thanks to its unique geography, Washington state has one of the world’s most extensive ferry networks. The largest boats, in Seattle, can carry thousands of passengers and hundreds of cars.

The downtown Seattle ferry terminal is within walking distance of the Pioneer Square subway station, making trips to Bainbridge Island and Bremerton easy.
