June 16, 2015. Beautiful Bainbridge Island

CAMPGROUND:  Fey Bainbridge City Park. On Puget Sound waterfront.  Water, but no electricity.  Grills and picnic tables.  $23/night. 3 stars

LOCATION:  Bainbridge Island, Washington, across Puget Sound from Seattle

WEATHER:  Sunny. Highs in 70s

We left Olympic National Park, and headed east then south, passing beautiful lavender farms on our way.  Our destination was Bainbridge Island,  from which we could catch the ferry to Seattle for day trips.

We strolled around the town of Bainbridge Island. It is darling.  It seems very high-end.  Most of the people commute to Seattle for work, or are just wealthy and live here.  We had steamed mussels for lunch at an ale house right on the harbor.

Then, we took the 35-minute ferry over to Seattle.  It was a nice, sunny day, so we could see Mount Rainier far away.

Seattle is really bustling with activity.  We walked around the famous Pike Place  market, watching the fishmongers throw fish in the famous seafood market.

 DINNER:  Sushi at Sushi Japonesa.  It was sushi happy hour, so the prices were reduced.  Heaven!
