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. The Almanac follows the useful present—weather, tides, daylight, and crossings. Field Notes keep the less measurable record.
