While the turn of the 20th Century saw Kingston (then known as Apple Tree Cove) as a vibrant lumber town, the whine and bustle of the sawmill has since been replaced with the blast of ferry whistles, cozy cafes, quaint shops and theater groups.

Located on Eagle Harbor and a scenic 30-minute ferry ride from Edmonds, Kingston offers visitors a small town feel with a delightful ambiance.

Cozy cafes, quaint shops, a Saturday Farmers Market, and an old fashioned Fourth of July celebration featuring a parade, salmon bake, craft fair and logging competitions contribute to the appeal this tiny town offers visitors.

No reservations are available on this route operated by the Washington State Ferry System.
