The Seattle Ferry






What can I say about the Seattle Ferry?  Well, it was fun, but a long ride at 45 minutes from the west side of the pond in Bremerton, WA.  It is free to ride from the west to the east side, but costs around $7.50 per passenger to come back.  Unlike the Staten Island Ferry in New York, the Seattle Ferry allows vehicles to board.  Plus, with a Wave2Go pass, the ferry is the cheapest transportation when traveling to Seattle on a daily basis because parking fees near the ferry are expensive.  The ferry comes complete with large comfortable seating and tables with cup holders.  The best part was watching the upper deck passengers feeding the birds as they followed us out into Puget Sound.  However, I am not sure whether or not Washington state frowns upon this behavior.

Critic’s Note:  On a clear day, the Seattle Ferry from Bremerton provides a terrific view of Mount Rainier.  Keep a close watch because you could miss it amongst the clouds.

Shari's Restaurant: Great food and delicious pies - Bremerton, WA 98310

All American Panini

Peanut Butter Chocolate Silk Pie





Lunch Trio

After weeks of driving by the Shari’s Restaurant sign, we finally decided to stop and try their food.  Shari’s reminded me a lot of the Full Moon diner in northern Chicago.  Its laid back atmosphere combined with their fresh food brought back great memories of an old fashioned diner that serves fresh homemade pies and desserts.  Shari’s did not disappoint my memories.  I had the lunch trio with a fresh roasted turkey sandwich, soup, and a slice of Peanut Butter Chocolate Silk pie.  My hubby tried the All American Panini sandwich with fries.  All of Shari’s ingredients were fresh and tasted divine.  Plus, the pie was sliced fresh on order and absolutely delicious!  Give Shari’s a try in the Pacific Northwest.  It is the perfect restaurant when you are craving great taste without the grease.  Yum!

Critic’s Note: Shari’s laid-back atmosphere extends through their service.  Please allow time to eat.  This is not a quick brunch, but definitely worth the wait.
