Is there a ferry line? Travelling on the Whidbey Island Ferry Route and Island-Speak

In the summer the Whidbey Island Ferry, aka Clinton-Mukilteo Ferry Route, becomes quite popular and the ferry lines grow longer, and longer. This is a bit troublesome for the "islanders". That's what we call ourselves. And on a side note, if you are an islander and you are travelling off Whidbey Island, you would probably say one of two things: "I am going to the other side" or "I am going over town." It sounds pretty funny when you hear that phrase with non-islander ears.

So in sticking with my original topic of Whidbey Island Ferry, I wanted to share a link for the Washington State Ferries: a live camera of the loading dock and road to the ferry so that you can checkout what kind of ferry wait you will have, ahead of time.
