Welcome to Washington!

We’re so excited to welcome you to the Pacific Northwest for our wedding! Heronswood Garden is tucked away in Kingston, WA, on the Kitsap Peninsula, just across the water from Seattle. There are a couple of ways to get here, depending on how adventurous you're feeling and if you’d like to experience a Washington State ferry or stick to the roads.

🚢 Option 1: Adventure via Washington Ferry

If you're flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), one of the best ways to reach Kingston is by taking a ferry across Puget Sound. It’s a classic PNW experience... think mountains, saltwater, seagulls, and orcas if you're extra lucky!

Here’s how it works:

From SEA Airport, drive about 25–30 minutes north to downtown Seattle.

Catch the Seattle–Bainbridge Island ferry (about 35 minutes across).

Once you arrive on Bainbridge Island, it’s a beautiful 40-minute drive north to Heronswood Garden in Kingston, WA.

If you're coming from north of Seattle (or flying into Paine Field in Everett), the Edmonds–Kingston Ferry is even easier. That ferry drops you right in Kingston, and Heronswood is just a 10-minute drive from the dock.

Travel Tip: Ferry lines can get long, especially on holiday weekends. We recommend arriving early and checking the WSDOT ferry schedule in advance. Please note this route comes at an additional cost for the fare please check out their ferry ticketing page for more information.

🚙 Option 2: No Ferry (Just You, the Road, and a Great Playlist)

If you'd rather skip the ferry entirely, you can still reach Kingston by driving around the Puget Sound. It’s a bit longer distance in miles, but often takes about the same amount of time around 1.5 hours, depending on traffic.

Here’s the general route:

- From SEA Airport, head south on I-5 toward Tacoma.

- Take WA-16 W toward Gig Harbor, then merge onto WA-3 N.

- Follow WA-3 all the way up through Bremerton and Poulsbo to Kingston.

- Turn onto WA-104, and you’re almost there.

You’ll cross the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, cruise through gorgeous wooded highways, and pass by small towns and bays. It’s a really pretty drive, especially if you’re planning to explore the area a bit more before or after the wedding.
