However do you really need to check in 90 minutes before departure (3pm sailing)?

And can anyone recommend any good lunch spots for a family - preferably with a play area that the kids can run around - in a sensible location in or very near Victoria?

Would consider eating in town but guess we need to be mindful of parking etc - will be a Saturday.

Thanks

What is your ultimate goal?

It would be easiest and cheapest to drive down I-5 to WA20 to coupeville for the ferry ( reservations required) to port Townsend. If you do this ferry...don't do it at low tide time...potentially cancelled.

If you want to go to Victoria, you can take the coho ferry from PA to Victoria as just passengers. You still need to be there an hr before because of per clear customs before boardng. The car take that long for the Sam reason.
