Update - There is an estimated two hour wait for drivers departing Kingston. An automated-issued pass is required to purchase a ticket.

To improve traffic flow through Kingston and deter ferry line cutting, a new traffic signal and two boarding pass dispensing machines are installed on SR 104 at Lindvog Road. 

When in operation, a traffic signal will direct ferry traffic to a designated lane where drivers must take a boarding pass and wait for the signal directing them to the tollbooths. Overhead signs at the intersection of SR104 and Barber Cutoff Road will indicate when the system is in use. 

System operating days and times 

Trial period: The system will run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday in May, as well as Memorial Day, May 25. 

Standard operations: Beginning Monday, June 1, the system will operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. during these peak periods: 

• Summer Season: Daily from Mother’s Day through Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 
• Year-Round: Every Saturday and Sunday. 
• Holidays: Daily during the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. 

Customer how-to and tips for the new system 

When lights are flashing on the overhead signs at SR 104 and Barber Cutoff Road, the system is active: 

• Follow the signal: Ferry-bound traffic will follow the traffic signal into a designated lane. 
• Take a pass: Stop at the automated dispenser and take your pass. If you leave the line after taking a pass, you will need to re-enter the line and take a new pass. 
• Wait for Green: Once the system detects space at the terminal, your light will turn green. Proceed directly to the tollbooths.

Will all major events in downtown Seattle, we encourage Bainbridge and Bremerton ferry riders travelling without a vehicle to buy their return ticket in advance. This can help avoid long lines at the ticket booths at Colman Dock. Now, youth tickets are valid for six hours instead of two. This gives passengers ages 18 and younger more flexibility and allows them to skip the rush at the ticket booths after a major event if they buy their return ticket in advance or use a Youth ORCA card.

Public Wi-Fi is now available aboard the Chimacum, which normally serves our Seattle/Bremerton route. New signs on board explain how to connect. The service works best inside the passenger cabin, where the signal is strongest. If you have problems or feedback, please use the Wi-Fi portal seen from your phone or computer and select “Provide Wi-Fi Feedback.” This launch is part of a pilot project that will also add public Wi-Fi at our Bremerton terminal this summer.

The passenger elevator on the Chimacum is out of service. There is an accessible restroom on the car deck. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Updates will be provided as conditions change.

The passenger elevator on the Chetzemoka is out of service. In the event of an elevator closure, a crew member can assist passengers with mobility disabilities to the passenger deck by way of a small freight elevator, though it is not ADA accessible.

Elevators 1 and 2 at Colman Dock remain out of service due to a mechanical issue. The Alaskan Way #4 Elevator and the Pier 50 elevator (along the front of the building) are both in service and available for customer use.

We are working with vendors to get the other elevators repaired and will provide updates as conditions change.
