Ironically... that ferry route is the basis of the novel I'm overhauling right now! So, while your wait times may vary, the ferry generally runs about once an hour (with a 35-40 minute crossing time in decent weather).
Getting on the ferry on the Seattle side, pretty much anytime towards evening rush hour gets dicey - but I suspect if you aimed for a departure anytime before 3-4pm, I suspect you'll either get the boat you want, or will get the next boat after that without too much trouble, especially on a weekday.
(Sample) Wait Time, updated: 6.7.2009, 7:09PM Seattle / Bainbridge Island Route: Mid morning volumes are anticipated to be steady. Vehicles are advised to arrive 30 minutes in advance of the sailing. Afternoon volumes may fluctuate, though motorists are still encouraged to arrive early. Walk-on passengers should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to sailing.
