Vashon Low Tides For May 21 - 23
Vashon Island will be experiencing low tides from May 21 through May 23 between 11:30 am and 4:00 pm. Vehicles with less than 14 inches of clearance from the ground to the undercarriage of the vehicle should not travel during these times. Check web site for your day of travel. Vashon Low Tides
Vehicle ramps at Fauntleroy and both ends of Vashon Island, are shorter in length than other terminals. At low tides these ramps create a steep slope and the hinge at the top causes an extreme angle for trucks or RVs with a low clearance. Waiting for a higher tide allows for this angle to lessen at the bridge seat (top). This allows for safer clearances for vehicles with low clearances and keeps them from scraping or hanging up at these locations.
