Ferry

Ferry tips for soccer fans

Taking the ferry is part of the experience. Here are quick ferry tips for soccer fans:

Arrive early on match days— some ferries can fill fast.
Walk-on passengers usually board quicker.
Ferries land at the waterfront near downtown Seattle.
Kitsap Transit operates passenger-only 'Fast Ferries' from Southworth, Kingston & Bremerton.
Fast Ferries can only carry about 100 people so they can fill up much faster than the larger Washington State (WSDOT) ferries.
