Water Taxi Melissa Ann Departing Vashon Island Sept 2013
Hi. This is my very first Youtube Video! I will be uploading much more (usually of Washington State Ferry departures and arrivals), but on rare occasions, like this one, I will be filming and uploading videos of King County Water Taxis or videos which have ferries that are not WSF. Most of the videos that I will film will be at Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth or Point Defiance/Tahlequah routes, because I live on Vashon Island but once I get all of those uploaded, I'll start filming and uploading departures on different Ferries throughout Washington and afterward throughout the United States of America! On a foggy morning in September 2013, the M/V Melissa Ann departed Vashon and headed
for Downtown Seattle.

Cycling the Seattle Elliott Bay Trail With Map
There are several ways from North Seattle to access the Elliot Bay Trail. This time I took the Locks, but you do have to walk your bike. I also returned to Ballard via Magnolia and climbing up to Magnolia Park.

Seattle Ferry Ride to Bainbridge Island
Riding the Washington State Ferries from Seattle to Bainbridge Island is one of the most scenic and affordable day excursions. Not only do you get amazing views of the Seattle skyline, but Bainbridge Island is also very pleasant to walk around.
The trip takes just thirty-five minutes. The round-trip fare for adult passengers is just $8.50 (2019). It's a great alternative to a Seattle Harbour Cruise! You can take your vehicle if you wish. However, the town centre on Bainbridge Island is within walking distance of the ferry terminal.
There are two routes operating from Seattle Ferry Terminal to Bremerton and Bainbridge Island. The route from Seattle to Bainbridge Island is the busiest in the Washington State Ferry network with 6.4 million passengers annually.
The Seattle to Bainbridge Island route is operated by the MV Tacoma and the MV Wenatchee. They are both classified as Jumbo Mark II class vessels, the largest in the WSF fleet. Each is capable of carrying up to 2,500 passengers and 202 vehicles at a speed of 18 knots. They are also the second longest double-ended ferries in the world, built between 1997-1999 at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle.
One amenity that I truly enjoy aboard the Washington State Ferries is the on-board galley and cafeteria, which serves up popular Washington State products including:
-Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream
-Tim's Cascade Style Chips
-Ivar's Acres of Clams Chowder
-Beecher's Mac and Cheese
-Whidbey Island Ice Cream Bars
Overall, the Washington State Ferries operate 10 routes serving 20 points around Puget Sound and Canada. It is the largest ferry system in the United States and fourth-largest in the world with a fleet of 23 vessels carrying 24 million passengers annually.
Enjoy your Bainbridge Island Day Trip! It is without a doubt one of the most popular day trips from Seattle. The Seattle Ferry Terminal is located at 801 Alaskan Way. Be sure to take advantage of the Seattle Free Waterfront Shuttle service that offers a stop within walking distance of the ferry terminal.

Riding the ferry to Bainbridge Island: A mini guide on navigating Seattle Ferries
INFO ABOUT THE FERRY
Schedule:
Ticket information:
I… like boats. I’ve always had a connection with them throughout my life. There’s just something special about traveling through water.
Today, my friends and I decided to go to Bainbridge island. It’s located near Seattle and the most popular way of getting there is via ferry.
Bainbridge island is a beautiful area to go to. While Close to the city, this area still harbors beautiful scenery and diversity. It’s super close to Seattle too. The ferry ride is only 8.6 miles long and it takes around 30 - 35 minutes. I recommend coming at least 30 minutes before departure. You can park your car in rows, which helps the staff organize the cars in the ferry.
Did I mention that? You can drive into the boat and take your car across the water. Warning. I recommend buying the round trip! It saves you hassle in the future. And I’m sure you don’t want to be driving back to Seattle by only land.
It’s quite spacious in the inside. You climb up 1 or 2 flights of stairs to get to the lobby. There are windowed booths everywhere. But why stay inside?
My favorite part about being on the ferry is goofing off with my friends above the deck, where you’re greeted with high blowing winds.
These ferries are huge. They can carry up to 2,500 passengers and up to 202 vehicles.
Many locals don’t know this but this ferry system is the largest in the US, maybe it’s because there aren’t many other parts in the US where ferry is necessary. Every year, there is at least 6,000,000 people who ride the ferry.

Roads You Won't Believe Actually Exist...
A ROAD YOU DON'T WANT TO TRAVEL ON!
island county bridge Washington - Deception pass bridge
The Island county bridge located Washington also known as Deception Pass Bridge which connects two lane bridges on Washington state route 20 and Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island located in the U.S. state of Washington. The road slash bridge is easily the scariest in the united states of america to cross while the island county bridge doesn't have the highest death count in the world it can be brutal with bad weather. the road still has a high death which problematic considering that this bridge feels poorly made with a wacky design with a immense and towering mass body of water beneath you. There have been plenty of people that fell to their deaths due to the barriers not be powerful which gives you a false sense of security and that is why this deception pass bridge is notoriously called the bridge of death. its not really safe. Think twice before crossing this bridge because it could be the last mistake.

Seattle Bus Tunnel
Buses operating in dedicated transit tunnels are very rare. One city where this is done is Seattle, Washington State, USA.
Originally opening in September 1990, and wholly located within the city's 'free travel' zone the 1 & 1/3rd mile (2.1km) tunnels were originally served by a fleet of Italian Breda duobuses, with some services providing a direct link to the city's airport.
It is in this guise that this film was made.
The bus subway features 5 stations which opened on Mondays - Saturdays only. At the time of construction rail tracks were also installed for a future light rail service. Unfortunately despite this commendable forward thinking it was subsequently decided that part of the light rail line will follow a different alignment than the existing tunnels, so on 24th September 2005 the bus subway was closed for two year period of rebuilding.
Most of the duobuses were actually withdrawn well in advance of the closure (with many being converted to pure trolleybuses for use on surface routes) and - amazingly - replaced with diseasal powered buses. (diseasal = disease diesel)
In April 2005 local users were reporting on Internet discussion groups that the tunnels were often somewhat smelly from (what thinking people know to be) the poisonous diesel engine exhaust fumes.
Whilst it is true that the buses are diesel electric hybrids they still needed to use the fossil fuel traction package whilst underground, although this was in a special 'hush' mode which means that the only operate between stations and at much reduced power.
Apparently the choice of fossil fuel buses was influenced by the transport operators' belief that it is not possible to mix overhead wire powered light rail and electric trolleybuses / duo-buses in an underground tunnel system - even though Essen proved otherwise!
In Seattle the buses were driver steered, it might be assumed that for safety's sake some sort of guidance system would have been needed - if only to reduce the chance of a bus accidentally hitting the tunnel wall - especially within the portion of the bus subway which featured narrow London Underground 'tube-like' tunnels (as seen here), but this was not the situation.
This video compilation was filmed in May 1993. The sequences only follow a cursory order and because of faulty camcorder lens optics (which was only discovered once back home) the images are not as sharp as they should have been. Which is a shame.
------------------------------
The tunnel reopened on 24th September 2007, although again for hybrid diseasal buses only.
