What is the best way to get to Port Angeles from Seattle?

I am looking for travel information for my mother, who is 75, needs to travel to Port Angeles from Sacramento. Probably she'll fly to Seattle (or Victoria BC) and take public transportation to Port Angeles. What options are there, and which are the cheapest and most simple? Thank you.What is the best way to get to Port Angeles from Seattle?
The problem is there is no direct flights from Sacramento to Victoria, she would have to go through Victoria, the terminal is outside the city then get a taxi downtown to catch the Coho ferry. Her best option time wise is to land at SeaTac and then go from there. There is no actual public transportation that goes from SeaTac to Port Angeles. She could look into the Greyhound bus as an option from downtown Seattle or even Tacoma. It leaves once or twice a day from Seattle and the first trip is in the morning second in the evening and both take around 3 to 4 hours. It is under $40 for her one way.
Victoria would be a much better option; there's a passenger ferry that runs directly from Victoria to Port Angeles. There are no direct public transportation options between Seattle and Port Angeles. You would have to take a couple of buses to get from Seattle to the ferry dock in Edmonds, and get on the ferry to Kingston. You would have to research how to get to Port Angeles on rural, community bus routes from there. I've seen the buses on the highway, but someone trying to take public bus routes would have to change buses three or four times, and that's only if the various services make connections as the highway heads west along to Strait of Juan de Fuca to Port Angeles.What is the best way to get to Port Angeles from Seattle?
Based on the departures/arrivals list for Victoria BC, that may not be a great option for you - there are flights from San Francisco on some days and Seattle most days, but then you'd still need to arrange ground transport to the ferry terminal and then the ferry ride, plus you'd have to deal with immigration and customs - twice.



Going through Seattle you can fly via Kenmore Air - cost is about $100 each way but will only take about an hour and 15 minutes. You'll need to reconfirm where the Kenmore air flight leaves from (Sea-tac, Boeing Field or their Lake Union Terminal), coordinate the transfer to the correct departure point and leave enough time for the transfer.

Another option is to take the bus from Sea-tac - Olympic Bus lines offers twice daily buses to Port Angeles, and can pick up at Sea-tac. The transit time includes the ferry to the Peninsula, and the total trip is about 3 hours. Cost is $50 one way or $80 round trip.

check your flight times and the bus times. there are other options in my Sources.



There are options for the ferries, but the directions for public transit in an unfamiliar city (especially if it's Seattle) could confuse the brightest of us all. I would stick to the shuttle.. or rent a car and pick her up.
