Washington Ferry to Kingston

We decided to visit Kingston, Washington, located across the Puget Sound from Edmonds.  There are many ferries crossing the sound, especially from Seattle.  Here we are going aboard.
 
Motorcycles, cars, trucks and even tour buses use the ferry.  
 
This is looking north on Puget Sound.
 
A pair of ferries move passengers and vehicles across the Sound.
 
Approaching Kingston.
 
 Exiting at Kingston, a thirty minute ride.  The ferry can handle hundreds of passengers with seating on the main deck and also on an upper deck.  There was a canteen aboard where food and drink could be purchased.

We were prepared to find a small town, away from tourist areas, and we found it.  Thousands of vehicle pass through every day but few stop. 

Anna always needs to check out the pet stores.
 
We had a meal at the Ale House and it was delightful.  A back patio provided a view of the water.
 
Lovely flowers are everywhere.
 
After a nice day, it was time to go home.
 
Our host, Anna.
