I was under the impression you boarded in Bellingham, do they go to Seattle?There are many, but the schedules can be confusing. I suggest that you look up their website. Their primary focus seems to be point to point within Alaska, but they do run an occasional ferry to / from Bellingham, WA.
The only destinations they serve outside of Alaska are Bellingham, WA and Prince Rupert, BC.I was under the impression you boarded in Bellingham, do they go to Seattle?There are many, but the schedules can be confusing.

I thought that the ferry was supposed to be a transportation link for places that otherwise didn't have transportation options except maybe for float planes. The Alaska Marine Highway system isn't really a tourist ferry. I looked at Seward, and it's easy enough to get to from Anchorage or Whittier. Now if you're in the Aleutians, then what other option do you have?The schedules require you to make transfer's to get all the way from Bellingham to Dutch Harbor...the extreme ends of their routes. It is difficult to make that journey and avoid long layover's...
It is interesting that some ports such as Anchorage, Seward, and Nome, are only accessible by cruise ships, and not the state ferry. The ferry port for Anchorage is Whittier, where you then take a train or bus to Anchorage....
Or sled dogs?

Nome seems kind of far away. I guess there's a point where getting to one isolated area doesn't make sense, especially if there's an airport.
