Ferries

The west seattle blog has an article about the water taxi to west seattle. It discusses some issues regarding funding and the creation of a King County Ferry district, which apparently includes a possible UW-Kirkland route. Hell yeah!

When I was in Sydney, one of the best aspects of their public transportation system was that it was either on rails (trains) or on water (ferries). The ferries ran everywhere, because the water was everywhere. Seattle's very similar, but doesn't actually have all that many ferries. Plus none of the Sydney ferries carried cars.
