Itinerary
Rainy Day Kingston
Crêpes, curry, a forest walk in the mist, and a taproom to dry out in. Rain is a feature here.
- 10:30 AM
Warm up at J'aime Les Crêpes
Steamed-up windows, hot coffee, and a savory crêpe while the rain does its thing. Open daily from early morning, two minutes' walk from the dock.

Kingston Public Market at Mike Wallace Park (Sundays)
In season, the Kingston Public Market sets up under canopies at the little park by the marina on Sundays, 10 AM–3 PM — vendors show up rain or shine, and the crowd is friendlier in the drizzle. Not a Sunday, or shoulder season? Check our Events page for dates and stroll the marina boardwalk instead.

Curry at Nirvana Indian & Nepali Cuisine
Rain food, solved. Indian and Nepali classics a short walk up Highway 104 — order a thali or a curry hot enough to fog your glasses from the inside.

A short forest walk, properly misty
Puget Sound forests are at their best in the rain. With a car, hit the gravel loops at North Kitsap Heritage Park — good drainage, big trees, zero mud drama. On foot, the paths around the Village Green scratch the same itch in 20 minutes.

Dry out at Friends and Neighbors Brewing
Kingston's taproom pours a wall of rotating taps and welcomes dogs and kids. Prefer a pub? The Kingston Ale House across the way does American and seafood classics.

Linger or catch the boat
If it's Thursday through Sunday and you're 21+, Cellar Cat wine bar pours by the glass with live jazz some nights — a very good reason to take a later ferry. Otherwise, the dock is five minutes away.
