How to Get to Friday Harbor Washington

We will meet you at our shop in downtown Friday Harbor so all you have to do is get here! The most common ways to get to Friday Harbor from the Seattle area are:

Drive your own car, a rental or take the Airporter Shuttle to Anacortes (about 2 hours from Seattle and then walk-on (highly recommended - no ferry lines) or drive-on the Washington State Ferry to Friday Harbor (just over 1 hour). Make a reservation if you plan on bringing your vehicle to the islands. Reservations are not required if you plan on leaving your car in Anacortes and "walking on" the ferry.

Take a 40 minute flight to Friday Harbor with Friday Harbor Seaplanes ( from Renton ) or Kenmore Air ( from downtown Seattle or SeaTac International Airport ).
