Assistance with Best Route
I am visiting the island for the first time and am new to Washington. My wife and I will be visiting the island June 6-8th. When I look up directions from DuPont on Google maps, I have three options. Two of those include a ferry, and one does not. I have zero experience with taking ferries, but have read they are not reliable and often are way behind schedule. I am wondering if it is worth driving longer and not using ferries?
I have included the options from Google maps in an image and here are additional details. Any help would be appreciated as we are travelling for her birthday and I do not want to screw it up.
Three options, according to Google Maps are:
WA-16 W includes the Port Townsend-Coupeville Ferry ~2.5 hours
The I-5 N = no ferry ~3.5 hours
I-5 N and WA 525 includes the Clinton – Mukilteo Ferry ~3hours
