    I’m the person riding on the Onewheel electric skateboard thing when you’re getting off the ferry! I live on vashon now but lived in Tacoma at the time, so all the more rare to spot myself. Thanks for the experience

    Thank you for this video. I have severe anxiety and going by myself to Vashon today. This is helpful to visualize what to expect.

      Many thanks! I am glad you liked it, I could ride the ferry everyday, especially once covid over and the galleys are back open. Nothing better than a drink and food while crossing the Puget Sound!

    Is spring good time to visit.?

      May-October has the best weather, the rest of the year is wet, cold, and snowy. Just be aware that May and October are transition months, some years are better than others. If you don't mind some rain April/May is when the flowers and rhodies bloom, very fun to see if walking around or visiting any gardens.

    Thank you, this video is very helpful! I'll be crossing in mid-June for my first trip to Vashon. But I didn't see you buying your tickets. Did you purchase them ahead of time online?

      We bought them at the booth, one of the last cars to get on :)

      @Jonathan Avila if your driving to vashon by a ferry from tacoma you'll have to drive through the car booth to even get in line.

    How long was the ride ?

    • @AmericanOutbackAmazing
      @AmericanOutbackAmazing  Рік тому

      It is one of the shorter routes, probably about 20 minutes.

    • @RainierHaugen
      @RainierHaugen Рік тому

      It’s about 10 minutes from dock to dock, so probably 15 if you’re one of the first cars on and waiting for them to finish the load.

    What kind of vehicle do you have?

    • @AmericanOutbackAmazing
      @AmericanOutbackAmazing  3 роки тому

      It is a Chevy Colorado diesel short bed crew cab. Getting a rack system and platform tent soon. So excited to really get out in nature once that is done! Highly recommend the truck, infotainment system and ride are outstanding, 30-34 mpg on the highway at 60 mph.

      Nice, do you have a winch? For starters I think I will get some MaxTrax.

    This is NOT the TACOMA, it's the SALISH. (not that it matters.)

      I mean the ferry from Tacoma. Vashon also has ferries from Fauntleroy and Southworth.

      We have millions of full time RV people in this country, IMO they only are considered homeless once they lose the means to travel around and are stuck in one place. Most have pensions, social security, or savings that they are living off of and seeing the country.
