The 8 a.m. Port Townsend and 8:45 a.m. Coupeville sailings are cancelled due to a shortage of crew. Dispatch has filled the open position and the vessel will return to service with the 9:30 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend. Reservation holders will be loaded first come first serve on subsequent sailings. No show fees will be waived. Updates will occur when more information is available.
Vehicle reservations for the winter sailing season (Dec. 27 through March 20, 2027) will be available at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27. To ensure a smooth and fair experience during this high-demand period, we will continue using a virtual waiting room during the reservations release.
Anacortes/San Juan Islands route:
Reservations are currently open for booking through December 26, 2026.
In early 2027, we’ll replace the major mechanical and electrical systems of the vehicle transfer span at our Anacortes, Lopez, and Orcas terminals. The transfer span is the part of the terminal dock that raises and lowers to meet the ferry to allow vehicles to drive on and off.
What to expect in early 2027 during terminal construction
- Anacortes single slip operations, Monday–Friday, Feb. 22–26
- Orcas Island 48-hour closure, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 9–10
- Lopez Island 48-hour closure, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 16–17
Ferries will run on their regular schedules but will not stop at Orcas or Lopez during the closure dates. Vehicle reservations will not be available for Orcas and Lopez sailings on the days those terminals are closed. We do not expect Anacortes reservations to be impacted.
Please visit the project webpage for more information. We’ll also keep you updated on this project through additional rider alerts, the WSF Weekly email, and social media.
The elevator on #4 Tillikum is out of service. The vessel does not have a restroom on the car deck. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Updates will follow as more information is available.
