Old victorian town with great architecture and shopping. The Puget Sound Express (whale watching) leaves from here, and Centrum has a robust year-round arts program. If you're here in the evening, check out the historic Rose movie theatre and Finistere for delicious French cuisine. Pane D'Amore bakery is the best!

There is so much to do and see in Seattle...but here are a few attractions within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal Space Needle and International Fountain at Seattle Center Seattle Aquarium Historic Pioneer Square Seattle Art Museum Pike Place Market Chihuly Garden and Glass Uwajimaya And, of course, shopping! You can drive on the Bainbridge ferry, but we recommend parking this side of the water and walking on to avoid the hassle/price of parking in the City. Kingston Fast Ferry is easiest but only runs commuting days/hours (park at Viking Way park and ride and take #307 bus over to save a few $ on parking). Alternatively, take Bainbridge Island Ferry right into downtown. It’s free heading into town, you pay only on the return leg. Parking at the ferry is about $12-15/day, but may be worth the convenience.

This is a 2+hour drive from Poulsbo, but is a truly beautiful place to explore. Try to go on a weekday to avoid the crowds and on a clear day to really experience the majesty of the range. Alpine meadows, views to Canada, hikes galore....oh, and a NPS concession at the top!

A 2.5m hike up an old logging road brings you to about 5-6 hot spring pools carved into the side of the hill. Go early on a rainy day to have them to yourself. They are clothing optional and are not maintained or tested. Recently, the access road got washed out, so check NPS alerts before you go.
