In Seattle, a soccer match in a neighboring town can involve a couple of ferry rides and a reason to spend some time in "Little Scandinavia". Poulsbo, located on the Olympic Peninsula is a town of 10,000 located on Puget Sound's Liberty Bay. Founded by Scandinavian settlers in the late 1800s, it was incorporated in 1907. The original name Paulsbo, or "Paul's Place", was apparently misread on the petition for a post office!
The M/V Puyallup loading about 200 vehicles at the Kingston ferry terminal prior to heading west to Edmonds.
Mount Rainier was obscured by clouds, but the Seattle skyline was visible from Kingston this day.
The Emerald Princess heads north out of Puget Sound bound first for Vancouver, British Columbia and then points beyond. The 951' ship is nearly as long as the US Navy's nuclear powered aircraft carriers.
