WSDOT

Due to necessary vessel repairs, we need to move vessels and adjust the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth schedule.  

• Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 7-8: Regular weekend winter schedule.  
• Monday, Feb. 9: Two-boat schedule due to timing of vessel moves. We’re working to add a third, unscheduled vessel in the afternoon. 
• Tuesday, Feb. 10: UPDATE - Two-boat schedule with a third, unscheduled boat running on the route. 

Please check the schedule pages for available upcoming sailings and the real-time map for updated departure and arrival times. 

Reminder - Construction will affect our Mukilteo/Clinton route in early 2026. We will suspend service for four hours midday on these weekday dates:  

• Monday, Feb. 9 

On those dates, the last morning sailings will be the 8:30 a.m. out of Clinton and the 9 a.m. out of Mukilteo. Service will resume with the 1 p.m. Clinton departure and 1:30 p.m. Mukilteo departure.   

Update on night work: As of Feb. 4, there are no additional nighttime closures for this project. 

About this construction  

We'll make repairs at our Mukilteo ferry terminal to the left (west) wing wall, which helps guide the ferry in place during landings. This wing wall was damaged in 2022. We made initial repairs, but this important and required work will provide a more solid structure for ferry captains as they land vessels in Mukilteo.  

If dates change due to weather, marine mammals or other unexpected reasons, we will share alternate dates. We’ll keep you updated through rider alerts, the WSF Weekly email, and social media. You can also sign up for a project-specific email list for more frequent updates. 

Due to necessary vessel repairs, we need to move vessels and adjust the Seattle/Bremerton schedule the next few days.  

• Friday, Feb. 6: One-boat service. Starting with the 10:30 p.m. Seattle to Bremerton sailing, the Chimacum will replace the Walla Walla as the #2 vessel.   
• Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 7-8: Two-boat service with Walla Walla as the #1 vessel and Chimacum as the #2 vessel. On Sunday night, the 10:15 p.m. Bremerton to Seattle sailing is cancelled to accommodate boat moves. 
• Week of Feb. 9: The route will go back to running one-boat service (#2 sailings) on weekdays and two-boat service on weekends. 

While the Walla Walla is cleared for service for a few days, it must go in for scheduled maintenance and required inspection on Monday, Feb. 9. We expect to fully restore two-boat service on the route when we have another vessel repaired. We’ll send updated information as soon as it’s available. 

Update - The #1 Wenatchee is running an estimated 15 minutes behind schedule.

The #2 Tacoma is running an estimated 20 minutes behind schedule.

We’ll send updated travel information as it becomes available. For upcoming sailings and live vessel locations, please check the online schedule and real-time travel map.

Vehicle reservations for the spring 2026 schedule (March 22 through June 13) will be available at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10. 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 only:  

• The two-week and two-day reservation releases will remain at 7 a.m.
• With added service in the past year, the spring sailing schedule is now the same schedule as the fall and winter sailing seasons.  

Reservations are currently open for booking through March 21, 2026. For more information about reservations on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes, visit our vehicle reservations webpage.

Through early April, customers traveling through Colman Dock will notice construction inside the main passenger waiting area. A temporary plywood wall will be installed in the center of the waiting area while a new coffee, espresso, and snack kiosk is built. 

Two-way public access, including ADA access, will be maintained around the entire work area, and there will be no impact to terminal access doors or other locations within the terminal. Crews will work closely with terminal staff to keep things moving smoothly, and the temporary wall will be reduced or removed as soon as it’s safe, and the kiosk can be secured.

Plan for possible weekday travel delays on State Route 104 near our Kingston terminal this fall. Work begins next week on a Kitsap County ferry traffic lane project. Crews are installing a stoplight system at Lindvog Road Northeast that detects when there is space for vehicles in the ferry line to proceed forward. They will also add kiosks that dispense boarding passes to help manage ferry traffic.  

What to expect: From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, expect alternating one-way traffic in this area. There will also be occasional full traffic stops in both directions approaching the work zone. Crews are scheduled to wrap up by winter.  

The stop light and boarding pass system is planned to start this winter. We will keep you updated through rider alerts on timing and how the system will work. 

The Washington State Transportation Commission is inviting ferry riders and the public to join the Ferry Riders’ Opinion Group, or FROG. This group gives you a chance to share your ferry experiences and provide feedback that directly helps shape our service, operations, and fares. The commission uses FROG to conduct periodic online surveys to gather input. Sign up to be included in all future surveys and help guide positive change at Washington State Ferries. 

We are trialing an updated pet policy through February 2026. Dogs on leashes are now allowed in all passenger areas, except onboard food galleys. Other pets must be in a crate or carrier. Service animals are welcome everywhere, as required by law. Livestock must stay in appropriate enclosures at all times. Learn more about our current pet policy and the trial policy on our Pets webpage.

In June 2025, we began a seismic retrofit project at the Kingston Ferry Terminal.  Construction will last through July 2026. Ferry service will operate as normal, except for a delay of 20-30 minutes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for the 9:40 p.m. Kingston to Edmonds departure. This delay may also affect later sailings.
