Silent Book Club Seattle is taking the ferry to Bainbridge Island on Friday, December 27!

We will catch the 10:40 am ferry from Seattle as walk-on passengers. (Keep in mind that 10:40 is when the ferry will *depart Seattle*, so plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before then). Ferry tickets are $10.25 round-trip: you can use your pre-loaded ORCA card, buy a ticket online, or purchase a ticket at the terminal.

You're welcome to join us for all or part of the trip: Drive on the ferry, take an earlier/later ferry, head back to Seattle whenever you like--choose your own adventure!
