Getting There

• Public Bus

  To reach Fort Ebey from central Marysville, start at the Marysville Transit Center located at 88th St NE and State Ave. Board the Community Transit Bus Route 201 towards Everett. Ride for about 30 minutes until you reach the Everett Station. At the Everett Station, transfer to the Island Transit Bus Route 1, which will take you to Coupeville. After approximately 50 minutes, get off at the stop on Fort Ebey Rd. From there, it's a short walk to Fort Ebey.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, start in the Marysville city center and head west on 4th St toward State Ave. Turn left onto State Ave and continue until you reach 88th St NE. Follow 88th St NE to the west until you reach the Centennial Trail. Take the Centennial Trail northbound until it connects with a road leading to Coupeville. Follow the signs to Fort Ebey, which should take about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your pace.

• Walking

  While walking is not the most practical option due to the distance, if you are adventurous, you can start from downtown Marysville and head west on 4th St. Continue walking until you reach State Ave, then head north. Follow the road until you reach the intersection with 88th St NE. Continue following the road signs toward Coupeville, which will eventually lead you to Fort Ebey. This walk is approximately 15 miles and would take several hours, so be prepared with water and snacks.
