Day trips: Hop a ferry for a blooming adventure

When summer finally arrives in the Northwest, the place to be is outdoors, soaking in the verdant beauty that sustains us through our long, gray winters.

Some of the most rejuvenating scenery lies a ferry ride west of Seattle, on Bainbridge Island and nearby Kingston, where a series of magnificent gardens will lower your blood pressure and elevate your spirits.
