Seattle Amtrak Station to Anacortes. Wa.

[moralesf]

I'm taking the train to Seattle, then riding to Anacortes, Wa. to begin the Northern Tier Route back east. Anyone got a preferred bike route from Seattle to Anacortes?

It's had a fair amount of discussion here. These might get you started:

Don't know if this is mentioned in any of the threads cited, but I took a ferry from downtown Seattle and got on AC's Pacific Coast Route.  Stayed at Kitsap Memorial State Park the first night, Fort Worden in Pt. Townsend the second night, took another ferry ride and then intersected with the Northern Tier just east of Anacortes, not far from Bayview State Park.  All three had hiker/biker sites.  Fort Worden is particularly nice and was a major location for the filming of "An Officer and a Gentleman."
