WSDOT

For Sunday, October 25, eastbound vehicle reservations are full from Friday Harbor until 7:50 p.m. and full from Orcas Island until 10:20 p.m. Limited standby space for all sailings will be loaded on a first come, first served basis. Reservation holders are advised to arrive one hour in advance.

Customers have less than a week to participate in the current Ferry Riders Opinion Group survey to share your thoughts on all things ferry-related. The last day to take the Washington State Transportation Commission hosted survey will be Monday, Oct. 26.

You can participate by either signing up to join the survey panel to ensure you’re included in this and all future surveys, or you can just participate in the current survey that is available online without signing up to receive future surveys. Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your feedback and suggestions.

For Sunday, October 25, reservations are currently full from Port Townsend for the remainder of the day and full departing Coupeville until 7:30 p.m. Limited standby space will be loaded on a first come, first served basis. Reservation holders should plan to arrive 45 minutes in advance of their reserved time.

Reservations can be made until two hours before sailing time, so please check TakeAFerry for cancellations or changes. Walk-on space is available for all departures. Your alternate routes are highly advised using Edmonds/Kingston or Mukilteo/Clinton.

Starting Sunday, Oct. 25, WSF restored daily two-boat service on our Seattle/Bremerton route. The final roundtrip of each sailing day remains suspended until further notice. This route has been operating without one of its normal two vessels since March 29 due to the pandemic. Schedule changes are currently dictated by our COVID Response Service Plan. Since late August, we have been incrementally restoring service as outlined in the plan, with a focus on demand and the availability of U.S. Coast Guard licensed crew.

Customers traveling through Colman Dock should plan for possible offloading delays during peak travel times. Construction crews will close the Marion Street exit at the Seattle terminal to vehicle and bicycle traffic.

Everyone biking and driving off a ferry arriving from Bainbridge or Bremerton will need to exit at Yesler Way through late summer 2021. This closure will not affect walk-on passengers.

Thank you for your patience as we continue working to rebuild Colman Dock.

Reminder: Starting Sept. 21, the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal's upper parking lot will be closed to commuter parking for asphalt work and repaving. ADA parking, passenger pick up/drop off and employee parking will be available for the duration of the project. The work will be performed during the day and is expected to last through October 30.

As a reminder, the Governor’s Safe Start Plan is in effect. Customers are advised to limit travel on ferries to essential purposes only, and to observe physical distancing. On some sailings, the number of walk-on passengers may be restricted so that riders can maintain physical distance.

Customers traveling by vehicle are encouraged to remain in their vehicles for the duration of their trip, while those in the cabin should practice safe physical distancing, wash your hands and avoid traveling if you feel ill.

Passengers are also asked to comply with the Governor’s statewide order requiring that face masks and coverings be worn in public to limit the spread of COVID-19. The requirement includes both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Thank you for helping us do our part to keep our community healthy....
