When I moved to Seattle, I was already used to taking ferries with my vehicles.
I lived in Newfoundland for a while and there were many locations and islands like PEI that you could not access with a bridge.
It can be time consuming to account for ferry travel if you have a limited amount of time to get to a particular location. I know some people who have to commute for hours everyday just to get to the city of Seattle from the Olympic Peninsula. There’s a famous reality TV show about the K1 visa process and one of the stars lives in Sequim but works in Seattle. Until the pandemic closed one of the key ferries needed to get to the city, he was commuting three hours in each direction everyday. That meant six hours of his day was spent in his commut, almost matching the amount of time spent at work. He finally got an apartment in Seattle this year, but he was doing that absurd commute from Sequim for years. I decided one day to take the ferry to Bainbridge Island with my cannabis vaporizer in my pocket. Although public use of cannabis is not legal in Seattle or Washington as a whole, I sometimes use my vaporizer discreetly where I know I won’t affect other people. The ferry to Bainbridge Island takes roughly 35 minutes from Downtown Seattle. It gives me time to think and reflect on the day, especially if I’m stressed out from issues at work. Once I arrive on Bainbridge Island and exit the ferry in my car, I start using my cannabis vaporizer discreetly.
