Washington began issuing an Enhanced Driver License and ID Card (EDL/ID) on January 22, 2008.
The EDL/ID securely denotes identity and citizenship, and is an acceptable alternative to a passport
for re-entry into the U.S. at land and sea border crossings. For information on how to obtain your EDL/ID click

With the largest ferry system in the country, Washington state ferries are ideal
for commuting, sightseeing, day tripping, or taking longer excursions.
Buses and cars and things that go are great ways to see the state. Think buses for
urban settings and car rentals for off-the-beaten path highways and roads. Plus,
there’s rail (Amtrak, monorail, Sounder) as well.
