About The Schedules
This is the most comprehensive source of inter-city transit transfers for the pacific northwest. While all of this information is presented and accurate to my knowledge (as of July 19, 2008), I realize that the schedules will change over time and that some bus routes may even change course or get removed completely. Therefore, I offer no guarantee to the complete accuracy of these schedules. I have personally only traveled on the Portland to Seattle route, so everything else is compiled from numerous transit agencies' websites and assumed to be up-to-date.
Nonetheless, please use these schedules as much as you like! For now I am only listing weekday schedules and say whether each route is possible on weekends. Unless I also noted that more transfers are required, check the schedules for each route to see if a weekend trip is possible. If there are any errors that you notice, please and let me know what changes should be made. Also, if you know of any additional public transit routes, please and let me know and then I'll try to add the new routes as soon as possible.
Here is the list of regional transfers:
- Seattle to Portland
- Seattle to Bellingham
- Seattle to Vancouver, BC
- Seattle to Anacortes to the San Juan Islands to Victoria, BC
- Seattle to Victoria, BC via Tsawassen

You will want to walk into the building in the middle of the road on the Canadian side to get cleared. Also at the border crossing, pick up some Canadian Dollars for the next buses.

Please note that this is the summer schedule for 2008. During other seasons ferry service is typically decreased so that the trip to Victoria is not possible in one day on this route.
- 1: Walk to the bay where it says Everett Express
- 2: I'm not sure exactly which bus bay you catch the next bus at
- 3: On Fridays, if you're going to Shaw or Orcas Island you'll want to wait until 14:45 for a different ferry.
- 4: Bicycles are charged more during peak season which is May 1 - October 11 2008
All buses have bicycle racks and the ferry allows bicycles for an extra fee, however in downtown Seattle if you have a bicycle you will need to board either at the first or last stop in the ride free area between 6am and 7pm. The first stop in the ride free area is 4th and Jackson and the last stop in the ride free area is either Howell & 9th between 15:00 and 19:00 and Olive & Terry at all other times.
The journey from Seattle to Victoria, BC is not possible in one day using this route, but it is possible in one day if you travel on the Seattle to Victoria, BC via Tsawassen route and is possible in one day in summer months traveling via the Seattle to Port Townsend to Port Angeles to Victoria, BC route. If you do travel this route to Victoria, I would recommend staying somewhere on the San Juans and then catch the Sidney ferry next morning. Otherwise, this journey only works at the times listed here on weekdays. This journey might be possible Saturday or Sunday, but it might require bicycling from March's Point P&R to Anacortes and will require more transfers between Everett and Mount Vernon using the following routes: the Community Transit 200/201/202, then the Community Transit 240, and finally the Skagit Transit 411C. If you are traveling within the San Juan Islands, then your ferry trip will be free. If you plan on making a round trip using this route, you can buy a discounted round trip ticket between Anacortes and Sidney.

Please note that this is the summer schedule for 2008. During other seasons ferry service is typically decreased.
- 1: Go to the corner of Government & Superior for these buses.
- 2: Bicycles are charged more during peak season which is May 1 - October 11 2008
- 3: These are the times for Monday-Thursday, but on Friday, the boat leaves 15 minutes later, doesn't stop at Lopez Island, and arrives in Anacortes at 14:45.
- 4: These are all timed transfers, so if the previous bus or ferry is late, you might miss your next connection.
- 5: I'm not sure which bus bay you'll catch the next bus at.
All buses have bicycle racks and the ferry allows bicycles for an extra fee, however if you have a bicycle you must unload it at either the first or the last stop in Downtown Seattle between 6am and 7pm. The first stop is Stewart & 9th and the last stop is 5th & Jackson.
The journey from Victoria, BC to Seattle is possible using this route only at the times listed here on weekdays, but it is possible to travel on the Seattle to Victoria, BC via Tsawassen route and is possible in one day in summer months traveling via the Seattle to Port Townsend to Port Angeles to Victoria, BC route. This journey might be possible Saturday or Sunday, but it might require bicycling from Anacortes to March's Point P&R and will require more transfers between Mount Vernon and Everett using the following routes: the Skagit Transit 411C, then the Community Transit 240, and finally the Community Transit 200/201/202.. If you are traveling within the San Juan Islands, then your ferry trip will be free. If you plan on making a round trip using this route, you can buy a discounted round trip ticket between Sidney and Anacortes.

| Walk or bicycle across the border. I make ABSOLUTELY no guarantees that you will make it into Canada and would advise that you bring a passport at the very least. I recommend to use this walking or bicycling route, however BE VERY CAREFUL along the route! The border crossing is designed only for cars traveling at high speeds and has no sidewalks or bike lanes. You will want to walk into the building in the middle of the road on the Canadian side to get cleared. Also at the border crossing, pick up some Canadian Dollars for the next buses.

- 1. I'm not sure which bus bay you catch the next bus at
- 2. Walk to the bus bay that has buses going to Olympia
- AS & HS: The Ocean Shores bus doesn't always stop at Aberdeen Station, so at the (HS) times, ride the first bus to Hoquiam Station
- TD & 512: The Olympia bus doesn't always stop at the Tacoma Dome Station, so at the (512) times, ride the 590 series all the way to the 512 P&R
All buses have bicycle racks, however in downtown Seattle if you have a bicycle you will need to deboard either at the first or last stop in the ride free area between 6am and 7pm. The first stop is 4th and Jackson and the last stop is Howell and 9th.

- 1. I'm not sure which bus bay you catch the next bus at.
- 2. If you're walking, get in line on the passenger walkway to the ferry. If you're on a bicycle, bike past the toll booths to a shelter next to the loading ramp. An attendant will signal once it's ok to board.
Please check the schedules of the Coho Ferry as it changes with the seasons. There are more sailings in the summer and less in the winter. Also there is an annual drydocking of the vessel for two weeks sometime in the winter where this journey won't be possible. I don't list any times because there isn't a consistent sailing time year-round, however for the rest of 2008 there will be a sailing at 10:30 AM. The fuel surcharge on the Coho ferry was $1 when I last updated this schedule on 6/19/2008. All buses have bicycle racks and you can take you bicycle on the Coho Ferry for an extra charge. The journey from Victoria to Port Angeles to Seattle only works at the times listed here on weekdays, however the journey might be possible on Saturdays. It is possible to travel to Port Townsend all days of the week.
