The Couple
how our garden grew
Misa Steinmetz and Raynaldo Rusi met in late 2019 through mutual friends and started dating in 2021. They spent a pandemic playing countless hours of Stardew Valley, then two years dating across the Atlantic before finally closing the distance for good. Through all of it, they loved the same things: horror movies, making things, and — most of all — each other's company.
Raynaldo proposed in Kyoto in January 2025, and the two married quietly on May 25, 2026. Now they'd love nothing more than to gather their family and friends to celebrate together on April 3, 2027.

Where is Port Gamble?
Port Gamble is on the Kitsap Peninsula, north of Kingston on WA-104. ZIP 98370.
Which ferry do I take from Seattle?
Port Gamble has no ferry dock. You cross the Sound and drive a short way in. Two good options:
Edmonds → Kingston: about a 25-minute crossing, then roughly 10 minutes on WA-104 into Port Gamble. Best if you're coming from north Seattle or up I-5.
Edmonds–Kingston schedule ↗
Seattle → Bainbridge Island: about a 35-minute crossing, then a 35-minute drive via SR-305. Best if you're staying in downtown Seattle.
Seattle–Bainbridge schedule ↗
Ferries fill up on summer weekends, so give yourself a buffer. Check current schedules ↗ and live wait times ↗ closer to the date.
Driving up from Oregon or the south?
You can skip the ferry entirely. Take I-5 North to Tacoma, then WA-16 West across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, then WA-3 North through Bremerton, Silverdale, and Poulsbo into Port Gamble.
The Narrows Bridge toll is only charged heading east (toward Tacoma, on your way home), so the drive to the wedding is free. Narrows toll info ↗
Do I need a car on the ferry?
Probably. There is no transit out to the venues. Walking on is cheaper if you can carpool from the other side. Let us know on your RSVP and we'll help connect carpools.
Flying in?
Fly into Sea-Tac (SEA) ↗. From there, head up I-5 to the Edmonds ferry, or into downtown Seattle for the Bainbridge boat. A rental car is the easiest way to get around once you're on the peninsula.
