Any advice about Seattle at the end of November?
Is it difficult to drive from Seattle to Port Townsend using ferrys? Or ...
what is the best route to get there?
Thank you
Federica

I was going to suggest that you avoid having sex with redheads,
but that relates to totally different post, and is not be your issue
anyway. :-)

No, not difficult at all. The ferry that I took was between Edmonds
(just North or Seattle) and Kingston (just South of Port Townsend
via Rt.104). Crossings are frequent enuff that wait-times are low.
There are plenty of alternatives. For fares, maps and schedules, see
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/, the official Washington State ferry
website. It can also give you directions and maps to the terminals.

Prepare for rain.

They'll have to drive the ferrys. You just park your car and sit and enjoy
the view. Most hotels will have ferry schedules.

Alternatively, you can use the Bainbridge Island ferry from Seattle's
downtown Colman Dock. Drive straight off the ferry, off the island and
through Poulsbo, then take 3 north to Hood Canal Bridge. Left across
the bridge (watch out for submarines) and you are on 104. Then right to
Hwy 19 and on to Port Townsend. It will take you about 45 minutes to
get to Port Townsend from Kingston, and something like an hour to get
there from Bainbridge.
