We (parents plus 4 adult children) will be in Seattle over Thanksgiving weekend. We are considering spending a few days out on the islands but have many questions.
What is the weather typically like in late November?
Is this a bad time to come to the islands if we want to enjoy the scenery?
Are places open on Thanksgiving? (Our choices are to come over for 1-3 days between Thanksgiving and the Saturday following Thanksgiving).
Does it make more sense to just come over on Friday and/or Saturday?
How crowded are the ferries leaving the islands on Saturday evening? (It looks like you can not reserve a spot, and if we can't get off the islands on Saturday evening, we miss our early Sunday flight - it seems like you gamble between spending time on the islands, but possibly not being able to leave when you need to. Yes, we will have a rental car).
Thanks for any help!
