Colman Dock / Seattle–Bainbridge ferry skyline views

Colman Dock (the Seattle ferry terminal at Pier 52) is the boarding point for the Seattle–Bainbridge Island ferry whose westward sailings provide clear framed views of the downtown skyline and Elliott Bay; photographs taken from the ferry or the terminal are frequently shared across social media. Commuter and tourist photos of the skyline from the water often circulate widely, especially on clear days and during sunset. The ferry terminal is a durable, regularly used transportation facility with long-documented photo appeal.
