West Coast Unrushed: A Seaplane-to-Ferry Escape from Seattle to Victoria [Video]

There’s more than one way to get from Seattle, Washington, to Victoria, British Columbia, but none quite like this. With the FRS Clipper, this round-trip journey pairs the thrill of a seaplane ride with the calm of a scenic ferry, making how you get there part of the adventure.
