    Getting on the ferry

    Ferry that runs between West Port Oregon and Cathlamet WA. Leaves Washing at the top of the hour and Oregon about a quarter after. Nice way to get across the Columbia River. Great Day trip too if you are looking for something to do.

    Puget Island Ferry history
    Richie D.

    Did you know an island called Puget Island exists? Or that there's a ferry which crosses the Columbia River connecting Washington and Oregon? Well now you do! Perhaps because it's the last remaining ferry on the Lower Columbia River! While there's next to nothing to see on Puget Island, it's a fun detour while making the drive to/from I-5 Longview or Kelso and Astoria or Long Beach. A fun adventure for kids and adults alike. It runs between Puget Island, Washington (a few minutes from Cathlamet) to Westport, Oregon. While on the Oregon side of the Columbia, have the kids peek into the marshy forests where 2 Sasquatch lurk and a shipwreck can be sighted. Hang on when pulling up to the dock because the ferry will do a 180 degree spin on the water. Cost: Cars under 20 feet cost $5.00 without an extra fee for passengers. Walk-ons cost $1.00 (although there's not much on either side of the Columbia). Timing: The ferry runs hourly between 5 am and 10 pm. It leaves WA on the hour and OR 15 minutes after the hour. The total crossing time is just under 10 minutes. The ship holds about 15 cars total. On your next trip to the Coast, take a new adventurous route via the "Oscar B."

    The Columbia from Puget Island

    For a fun detour on the trip from Astoria to Portland, take a ride on the Westport-Cathlamet Ferry. All aboard! The $5 price can't be beat and the ferry operators are friendly and knowledgable. The Puget Island end is a bit creepy at night - the burned out house and pedophile RV parked outside really set the mood - but otherwise this is a charming detour. And keep your eyes peeled for Bigfoot!

    Not much to add to the rest of the revies, fun little side trip and always makes me glad I took the time when going to/from the coast.

    Heads up! The ramp down to the boat is very, very steep. I'm able bodied and it hurts my knees…read more They have a solution if you're unable to walk the ramp, but it's a real adventure. It's so steep that they offer a wheelchair tied to a rolling machine with a rope. The special machine slowly pulls the chair on the ramp because it's not safe for a human to push or pull or even navigate your own wheels. Steeeep. Super steep. The first floor has a bathroom; the second floor and the rooftop do not. If you can't navigate stairs, you are stuck on the first floor. There really isn't a bad seat on the boat. Even if you aren't sitting right at the window, there is a perfectly awesome view from the middle. The second level is fully enclosed, except for a small patio in the front. Level three is the partially covered open air roof rooftop. There's a small gift shop up top towards the front that leads to the navigation quarters. You can talk to the navigation crew and the captain. Very cool. Overall, it's super fun to be on a boat. I'm grateful for what we have and the name does fit: The Portland Spirit. This one has the aesthetic of a good old Portland dive bar. It's not fancy; it's apparent that it hasn't been renovated or updated in ages. The tables have peeling laminate and the chairs have that familiar Portland grime. Looks like It was built in 1986 (it was). HAPPY HOUR CRUISE EXPERIENCE Our group was not able to navigate stairs, but they allowed us to stay on the first floor even though it was not open for happy hour (on our cruise) and made special trips to serve us since the bar was only open on the second floor. There is an ongoing narration about history and sites to see along the way, so if you are hoping to have a conversation, keep that in mind. Happy cruising!

    We booked the big foot cruise. 2 adults and 2 teens. We were the last on the boat. The headphones…read morewere scattered about and 2 of us didn't get them. The boat was really crowded. People sit sideways on the small bench so there is little room in order to see out. Without headphones you can't hear the narration so it just becomes a boat ride. I wouldn't do this again.

    I recently visited Texas and their highways do not have any debris left on it no gravel no…read moreanything. Why is it that Washington state has all this gravel and debris and it tends to have people driving over the debris hitting other cars damaging vehicles. Washington state you need to do better clean your highways on the side of the road. I actually took pictures of Texas and I actually took pictures on 167. The roadways need to be fixed and cleaned up street sweeping or highway sweeping is very much needed. You cannot tell me that we can't afford it. Washington state has enough money for highway sweepers to clean up the debris and glass on all highways. I have provided a picture of their highway and what it looks like on 167. WSDOT DO BETTER! I also got notification that you were supposed to fix the roadway on 186 or 183rd St. in Puyallup and you have not done that yet. You've done everything else by adding sidewalks for pedestrians, but you have not fixed the roadway

    After moving away from Seattle for 3 years and returning not much had changed with WSDOT. Graffiti…read morevandalism on signs and walls is still very prevalent. It really makes a city look seedy and scary. I'm in Palm Springs now and it is cleaned up immediately . Walls and signs should be made inaccessible to the vandals. The City of Seattle should sue WSDOT for their disregard of the City of Seattle and it's residents.

    I contacted an agent to help with my families three week trip to Europe. The agent was kind,…read morefriendly and knowledgeable so I was really excited to have her plan our trip. I followed up 1 week after the call and she let me know she would have something to me in a week. This was February 10th and the last I have heard since. Since February 10th, I have been unable to get a response from her or the company about the travel plan. I sent multiple kind emails asking for a timeline, left voicemails and spoke to the person who answered the main phone pleading for someone to call me back. Against my better judgement, I still stuck with it thinking they were helping me. A full month later, I have still not received an ounce of communication and we are having to move onto a different company. It is putting our family in a bad situation and now is a month of time wasted. I have no idea why this agent "ghosted me" and is refusing the event reply to an email or call me back. A simple, "I am still working on it" or "it turns out I don't have the bandwidth to handle your request" email would have sufficed, however I can't event get that from her or the company. It is really disappointing and very unprofessional. This is my first experience with a travel agent in over 20 years and it was disappointing to say the least. I'd caution you on using Willamette International Travel if this is the way they feel the need to treat their customers. I can't imagine this happening if a problem with a flight or hotel reservation would come up, you would be on your own to figure it out.

Jenne at Willamette Int'l Travel helped me research an array of options and was able to use some creativity to save me money. She was very helpful and responsive.
