We found our inexpensive ferry ride through Washington had as many beautiful views and wildlife sightings as our pricey whale-watching tour.

My family loves the ferry system in Washington, thanks to its affordable pricing and stunning views.Recently, we took a budget-friendly ferry ride from Olympic National Park to Whidbey Island.Wildlife sightings during the $21 car-ferry ride were better than ones on our whale-watching tour.
Washington is one of my family’s favorite travel destinations.
We’ve visited the state several times, and we keep returning to explore more of its beauty. On each visit, we include a ferry journey to see scenic barrier islands in Puget Sound.
Here’s why we love these ferry-based expeditions — and why a recent one to Whidbey Island really blew us away.
