Getting to Vashon Island

Vashon Island is only accessible by ferry boat. You can walk or drive onto the Washington State Ferries that service Vashon. We recommend you drive or plan to carpool if you walk on. The ferry is a really fun way to commute to Vashon. You can get out of your car and enjoy the beautiful crossing of the Puget Sound. But it is important that you plan ahead so that you are not stuck in the ferry line or on the boat as race time approaches!

Recommended boats are as follows:

From West Seattle/Fauntleroy - last ferry at 7:35 am (6:05 or 6:55 am recommended);
From Tacoma - last ferry at 7:35 am (6:45 am recommended);
From Southworth - - last ferry at 7:40 am (6:05 or 6:50 am recommended).
Beware of over-loads and to be safe take the recommended ferry, carpooling is also recommended. If you cannot drive onto the "last ferry" due to over-loads, walk on and ask for a ride/hitch-hike with other racers on the boat.
