Accessibility & mobility

Creek Street is a wooden boardwalk on pilings, not a flat promenade. The salmon walk is about 1.5 miles. Ask the ship about the gangway at your berth. The borough's ADA paratransit cardholders ride the bus free, which is a local card, not a cruise-ship pass. Book a vehicle that can take a wheelchair if you are leaving the downtown waterfront.
