Come ride a ferryboat to PAM’s Early Bird dinner on Saturday, June 14. We’ll take the Washington State ferry to Bain-bridge Island. The ferry terminal is at Pier 52 on Alaskan Way along the Seattle waterfront, a 20-minute downhill walk from the Seattle core (http://www.visitseattle.org/images/maps/pdf/MapDowntown.pdf). Try to be there by 5:10 in order to buy your roundtrip passenger ticket ($6.70). The ferry leaves PROMPTLY at 5:30.
If the weather is nice, come up to the top deck to take in the views. Bring a warm jacket in case of cool or damp breezes. We arrive at Bainbridge Island 35 minutes later for a 20-minute walk through downtown Winslow on our way to Madoka Pan Pacific Restaurant (http://www.madokaonbainbridge.com/). Taxis are available at the Bainbridge dock if needed. Anticipated arrival time at restaurant is 6:30PM.
Madoka serves Pacific Rim-influenced cuisine using Northwest-sourced foods. We’ve arranged to have a 3-course (salad, main entrée, dessert) prix fixe meal. Possible entrée choices:
Seafood, perhaps locally caught tuna
Angus beef steak or a Chicken dish
Vegetarian choice from the menu
The cost is $38 and includes tax and tip. Beverages are extra. It may be helpful to bring some cash to cover your beverage bill. We'll plan to return on the 8:55PM ferry to Seattle. The ferry schedule is at: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/schedules/current/index.cfm?route=sea-bi.
