State Route 305 (SR 305) is a 13.50-mile-long (21.73 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Washington, primarily serving Bainbridge Island in Kitsap County and connecting it to Seattle in King County via the Seattle–Winslow Ferry. The highway travels north through Bainbridge Island and leaves the island on the Agate Pass Bridge into the Kitsap Peninsula. SR 305 continues northwest through Poulsbo, intersecting SR 307 and ending at the SR 3 freeway. The highway was created during the 1964 highway renumbering and was preceded by Secondary State Highway 21A (SSH 21A), established in 1937. The ferry, part of the highway since 1994, is served by the Jumbo Mark II class MV Tacoma and MV Wenatchee and operates on a 35-minute crossing time.
SR 305 begins at Colman Dock in Seattle and travels on the Seattle–Winslow Ferry to Bainbridge Island. The ferry, operated by Washington State Ferries (WSF), is on a 8.6-mile-long (13.8 km) route and is served by the Jumbo Mark II class MV Tacoma and MV Wenatchee, traveling at a speed of 18 knots (21 mph) for a 35-minute crossing. The ferries depart from Colman Dock and travel northwest across Elliott Bay and Puget Sound to Winslow, part of the city of Bainbridge Island. As of Spring 2013[update], WSF operates the ferry on 24 weekday crossings and 22 weekend crossings, as a $8.00 toll for adult passengers is charged with prepaid Wave2Go cards being accepted.
