There is a usable 4 hr 55 min ashore window, though the conditions ask for some flexibility.

  • Rain chance averages 0% during the window
  • Light wind favors an easy visit
  • An extreme low tide occurs during the day

A working description

Near the mainland.
Decidedly not on it.

Ketron is served by the Pierce County ferry from Steilacoom. The crossing is short; the change in pace is not.

This is not intended to be a comprehensive visitor guide. Today follows the useful present—weather, tides, daylight, and crossings. Field Notes keep the less measurable record.
