Itinerary
The Walk-On Wander
Leave the car in Edmonds. Everything good in Kingston is within three blocks of the dock.
- 9:40 AM
Walk off the ferry
Foot passengers roll off first. Bonus: WSF collects the walk-on fare only on the Edmonds side, so your ride home from Kingston is already paid. The whole town is flat and close — no plan B required.

Coffee and a crêpe at J'aime Les Crêpes
A French creperie that's been at it since 2003, two minutes from the dock and open daily from early morning. Get a sweet crêpe with your coffee and take it slow — the boat crowd thins out fast.

Mike Wallace Park and the marina boardwalk
The little waterfront park right beside the ferry dock. Wander the marina docks, watch sailboats come and go on Appletree Cove, and look for your ferry making its return run to Edmonds.

Lunch at Sourdough Willy's Pizzeria
Pizza built on a century-old sourdough starter — the crust is the point. Opens at noon daily, a short walk up Highway 104. If pizza's not the mood, The Saucy Sailor next block over does gourmet fast-casual with vegan and gluten-free options.

Stroll up to the Village Green
An easy 15-minute walk from downtown brings you to Kingston's community heart — big lawn, community center, and a second small cluster of shops and eateries nearby on Central Ave.

Milkshake at The Grub Hut
Old-school burgers-and-shakes joint on the walk back toward the dock. A shake for the road is the correct move. They're call-in friendly if there's a line: (360) 881-0147.

Amble back for the boat
You're five minutes from the terminal, and walk-ons never miss the boat the way cars do. Grab a bench, watch the ferry come in, and board for free — you paid in Edmonds.
