PORT ANGELES — A new intercity bus service aims to whet your appetite for travel, not to mention seafood and fruit.
The Dungeness Line has opened to link Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend with Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, cross-country buses and Amtrak, as part of the Travel Washington Intercity Bus Program.
It is operated by the existing Olympic Bus Lines.
Coupled with Clallam Transit System and Jefferson Transit, it links almost every spot on the North Olympic Peninsula with carriers from Canada to Mexico — and beyond.
The Dungeness Line — emblazoned with its namesake crab — joins the Grape Line between Pasco and Walla Walla and the soon-to-open Apple Line from Omak to Ellensburg.
Future routes also will be named after Washington products, though not necessarily food.
“It’s not about just crabs and fruit,” joked Steve Abernathy, intercity planner in the Public Transportation Division of the Washington Department of Transportation.
