Des Moines launching new 'fast ferry' to and from Seattle

Starting Aug. 10, there will be a new way to get from Des Moines to Seattle and it does not involve any freeways or traffic

The new fast ferry will take four times a day from the Des Moines Marina, Wednesday through Sunday.

The ferry will leave Des Moines Marina at 10:00 a.m., noon, 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Southbound trips will leave Seattle at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 pm.

It’s currently just a two-month pilot program to see how it’ll work for the city.

I know, it seemed nonsensical at first. Until Des Moines in this case had to be near Seattle. Irish_Dem Aug 2022 #2

Had to read it closer to figure out there is a Des Moines in Washington state.

Forty minutes to get to Seattle from our Des Moines would be great though.
