You can train to Mount Vernon and Transit to the ferry dock. I'd advise against riding Mt. Vernon to Anacortes; there's pretty gross traffic. There's also a shuttle from Seattle downtown to the Anacortes ferry dock. You can PM if you have questions about the San Juans. I've been riding up

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I think we're really leaning towards trying to put together a route that incorporates the San Juan Islands. Ryan On Friday, June 2, 2017 at 1:50:44 PM UTC-4, Ryan Thompson wrote: > > Hey everyone, > > My wife and I are celebrating our 15th anniversary this

I highly recommend the Washington edition of the Cycling Sojourner books for a good overview of options, as there are so many for riding out of Seattle that time of year. The Olympic peninsula and San Juan islands are both good places to start looking at route planning. Ferries leaving west

I live on Vancouver Island. You can take the Cliper Ferry from downtown Seattle, or another ferry from Anacortes, or a third from Port Angeles. All wind up in Victoria. There is a cycling trail through the entire city (the Galloping Goose), as well as routes up the Island. There are any number

Thanks Eric. Vancouver Island also looks promising and is only a short ferry ride away. Ryan On Friday, June 2, 2017 at 3:14:19 PM UTC-4, Eric Norris wrote: > > The Cascade Bicycle Club is doing a two-day ride to Vancouver, BC, in > August: >

I don't have much to add, but will be watching intently for what others might have to share. I "work" in the Seattle area, live in MN, and travel to the area every couple weeks. I have brought my S coupled Atlantis back and forth quite a few times, but now just keep a bike there for my
