We spent our second day in Seattle by visiting Bainbridge Island and later getting ready for our cruise tomorrow. Walking in Seattle is a bit of a challenge since there are very few level streets. We had a half mile walk to the Seattle ferry terminal, so with that round trip and walking on the island itself, we had another 10,000 step day.
We took a late morning ferry to Bainbridge Island, enjoyed lunch there, and walked around. This is an island in the middIe of Puget Sound and is a 35 minute ferry ride from Seattle. It's known to be a bedroom community for Seattle as many people commute to Seattle from there, as well as an artistic haven (this picture is of a sister ferry)
Bainbridge island has a nice collection of stores and a few restaurants. We enjoyed omelets for lunch in a pleasant diner, visited a farmers market, a bookstore, and a number of other shops. Overall it made for a relaxing day. Here are a couple of scenic shots of the island.
On the return trip, Mary got this nice picture of the Seattle Skyline.
Tomorrow we leave for our cruise ship at noon, then head north to Juneau, arriving on Tuesday.

I like hearing about Puget sound and Seattle because Debbie Macomber has many of her books in those settings. I can't believe how many steps you are walking. Good job on all the walking you are doing.
Great pictures , you are seeing lots , enjoy ..... Enjoy your holiday , Pat
Sounds like a lot of walking but another nice day exploring the area. You'll get to relax a little on the ship tomorrow. Enjoy the cruise! Gail
