The

Welcome to the Kingston Express
Association. The Fast Foot Ferry Solution.
The Kingston Express Association is a group of former riders of the Aqua-Express who seek to develop a replacement. The Association is a Washington non-profit corporation. We are not affiliated with Aqua-Express, Kitsap Transit, or any other organization. All work is accomplished by volunteers and we have not received funding from any source other than the membership.
