We get it. Port Angeles, WA is quite the journey for many and the best way to make it worth it is to find some time to explore the area before and/or after the wedding.

However, if you are coming just for the wedding, we will be providing a shuttle bus on Friday, June 26th and Sunday, June 28th for guests to get to NatureBridge and back to Port Angeles, WA.

TRAVEL to NatureBridge
(it’s far…)

*WAYS TO GET HERE*
NatureBridge
111 Barnes Point Rd.
Port Angeles, WA

    • Pick up at SEATAC’s Rental Car Facility. All major agencies (Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, etc.) operate from a single off-site facility with 24/7 shuttle buses from baggage claim.

      Address: 3150 S 160th St, SeaTac, WA 98188. Follow airport signs to the rental-car shuttles.

    • Fastest “no-ferry” route: I-5 SOUTH → WA-16 across Tacoma Narrows → WA-3 → WA-104 (Hood Canal Bridge) → US-101 N to Port Angeles.

      Note: the Hood Canal Bridge occasionally opens for marine traffic—build in a little buffer.

    • Ferry-plus-drive scenic routes:

      • Seattle → Bainbridge Island (35 min crossing), then WA-305 → WA-3 → WA-104 → US-101 to Port Angeles.

      • Edmonds → Kingston, then WA-104 → US-101 to Port Angeles. (Washington State Ferries posts current schedules/status here.)

    • Driving times (typical): Seattle ⇄ Port Angeles ~2.5–3.5 hours depending on ferry waits/traffic; Seattle ⇄ Lake Crescent ~3–3.5 hours

    1. Dungeness Line (Greyhound-operated): 2 trips daily between SEATAC Airport / downtown Seattle and Port Angeles (plus stops in Edmonds/Kingston/Sequim). Easy pickup at SEATAC baggage claim level Door 02.

      BOOK DUNGENESS LINE

    2. “123 Strait Shot” (Clallam Transit): Walk or ride to the Seattle–Bainbridge ferry, ride to Bainbridge as a walk-on, then board Route 123 Strait Shot at the Bainbridge terminal direct to Port Angeles Gateway Transit Center. (Great option if you’d rather not drive.)

      • Airport → Downtown connection: The Link 1 Line light rail runs every 7–15 minutes and is about 38 minutes from SEA to downtown Seattle (near the ferry terminal).

      • Finding the Seattle ferry terminal (Colman Dock): Pier 52, 801 Alaskan Way. There’s an elevated pedestrian connector to ticketing—easy for walk-ons.

    • While the bus is easy and economical, there are a few things to remember if you chose this route:

      If taking the 123 Strait Shot to Port Angeles, please make sure to time your ferry to Bainbridge Island with the bus schedule. The bus DOES NOT WAIT and the next scheduled bus will be hours later (or the next day).

  • If you want your own rolling cabin, Cruise America (Seattle/Everett & Fall City) and marketplaces like Outdoorsy/RVezy have plentiful RVs and campervans near Seattle. Many hosts offer airport pickup/delivery and would allow you to spend more time exploring the Olympic Peninsula.
