Anyone looking for alternatives to our broken and destructive automobile network is to be commended, but don’t overlook the working alternative we already enjoy and that should be further developed, the Amtrak Cascades.
Recently, Amtrak has boosted the schedule between Seattle and Portland and there are now 7 trips a day from Oly to Seattle’s King St. Station that will take you there for less than the cost of driving, with far less stress on you and with zero added pollution from the transit trip. It’s a very pleasant way to get to Seattle and easy to access all the transit options in town from there. Will get you there in about half the time of a ferry, and puts you right where you can easily connect to other modes.
