Commute by Water Taxi to and from West Seattle

Want to get around the traffic delays and detours that will be part of the Spokane Street Viaduct construction? There’s smooth sailing with no traffic jams on the West Seattle Water Taxi!

Seasonal service began Monday, April 5 between Seacrest Park in West Seattle and Pier 50 on the downtown Seattle waterfront. The 2010 season ushered in a new vessel and improvements at Seacrest Dock including a wider, longer gangway to meet accessibility guidelines, new concrete floats, a change in docking orientation, and a new fare structure and policy.

Bus and Shuttle Connections
Two free Metro DART shuttles operate between local neighborhoods and the Water Taxi. Route 773 serves West Seattle Junction. Route 775 serves the Admiral District and Alki Avenue SW. When the Water Taxi is running, you can find schedules for both of these routes on Metro Online.
