context_page_description: The King County Water Taxi is a passenger-only fast ferry service operated by the King County Department of Transportation Marine Division. It operates two routes between Downtown Seattle and West Seattle or Vashon Island.
context_section_description: The West Seattle–Seattle route crosses Elliott Bay between Pier 50 on the downtown Seattle waterfront and Seacrest Park in West Seattle. The ferry's crossing time is approximately ten minutes during weekday commute hours and approximately 15 minutes at all other times. As of January 2016, the primary ferry for the route is the MV Doc Maynard.
  Year round the ferry operates weekdays during the peak commuting hours, carrying an average of 1,742 passengers during the commute hours in December 2014. During the peak season, from early April to late October the water taxi schedule expands to operate all day, seven days a week with extended hours on Friday, Saturday and when the Mariners, Sounders, or Seahawks play night games. Service operates on holidays during the peak season (April–October) but not during the winter season.
  King County Metro operates two shuttle bus routes that take passengers to and from the dock at Seacrest Park. Route 773 connects to the West Seattle Junction and route 775 connects to the Admiral District and Alki Beach.
