Welcome to the Port of Kingston

Gateway to the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas

The Port of Kingston was established by the state legislature in 1919 as one of the original Mosquito Fleet landing sites.  The port is located on Apple Tree Cove where the Carpenter Creek Estuary flows into Puget Sound.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has designated the Port of Kingston as a safe harbor during storms.

The geographic location of the port provides convenient access to prime, commercial, tribal and recreational fishing and crabbing grounds. The Port of Kingston is a favorite stopping off point for boaters travelling from the southern areas of Puget Sound heading to the Strait of Juan De Fuca, the San Juan Islands, the Canadian Gulf Islands, and even Alaska.  Proximity to the Olympic Peninsula offers opportunities for campers, hikers and bikers as well. Washington State Ferries operate the western terminal of the Edmonds-Kingston run at the Port of Kingston.  Over 4 million passengers a year use this route for commuting, business and recreation.
