Water Taxi Dates Start With Elliott Bay Views
Cross Puget Sound with your date, choosing West Seattle or Vashon Island from a downtown departure point.
⛴️ A Date Across the Sound
Give your date night plan a waterfront opening at Seattle Water Taxi Dock. The King County service leaves from Colman Dock, with routes toward West Seattle or Vashon Island. Commuters and sightseers share the boats, and the crossing brings the downtown skyline into view from the water. Choose your destination before setting the rest of the evening.
Adult fares start at five dollars, and passengers aged 18 and younger ride free. Payment options include exact cash, contactless credit and debit cards, digital wallets, ORCA cards, and Transit GO Ticket. Paper tickets are also available from terminal vending machines.
The office opens Monday through Friday from 8 AM to half past four PM. Those are office hours, while sailing schedules vary by route. Check the departure and return times before planning dinner around the crossing. The open outlook across Puget Sound also leaves room for spotting marine life along the way.
