For a fun trip on a lazy day, or especially to entertain out of town visitors, a ride on a Washington State Ferry is a must. For about $6 you can enjoy the skyline of Seattle from the deck of the ferry on the Seattle-Bainbridge run, pass Alki, stop for lunch or a walk in Winslow on Bainbridge, and return to the big city. Plenty of photo opportunities, no touristy spiels, and best of all this feels like the real thing because the islanders really do use these boats as part of their everyday life.
