Good tour - interesting to see and learn about the Seattle shore from the water view. - Considering it was November with rain and fog, the guide did a good job of explaining the shore line. Most informative for us was the information about the shipping industry.

Cruising in the bay. - We booked the 2:45 tour. I would suggest you get it line 1 hour before so you can get a starboard seat. This will be the side where everything you want to see is. Dress accordingly as it can get cold & windy on the top deck. There are inside seats and it is cozy, but top deck is best view. You can walk around and take pictures. There is food & drink and restrooms. The tour guide will give you lots of history. It’s a lot packed into an hour.
