I finally took the ferry from downtown to the west side for my commute
I live in Lakewood and work downtown, and I got so sick of the Shoreway traffic last month. I decided to try the water taxi from the East 9th Street pier over to the Wendy Park dock. It was only $8 each way, which seemed fair. The ride itself was great, super smooth and a nice view. But I didn't plan for the walk from the dock to my office. It added a solid 20 minutes I didn't account for, and when it rained last Tuesday, I was totally soaked by the time I got in. I learned that the ferry is a cool option, but you really need to factor in the extra time on both ends, especially if the weather turns. Has anyone else made the ferry work as a regular commute, or is it more of a summer weekend thing?
