WSDOT

We’re hosting systemwide virtual public meetings on June 17 and 18. WSF staff will answer questions and provide updates on the latest at Washington State Ferries. To find out more about these meetings go to: https://wsdot.wa.gov/travel/washington-state-ferries/about-us/community-participation.

Low tides will cancel one or more sailings from Port Townsend and Coupeville in June. Please see our Tidal Cancellations table for a complete list of affected dates and departures.

On Saturday, June 8 the 9:30 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend and the 10:15 a.m. from Coupeville are cancelled due to tidal conditions.

Your alternate routes are Edmonds/Kingston and/or Mukilteo/Clinton

Edmonds / Kingston Schedule 

Mukilteo / Clinton Schedule 

The walkway at the Southworth terminal will reopen Monday, June 10 by 7 a.m. Thank you for your patience as we repaired the walkway ahead of the busy summer travel season. 

Plan extra travel time on southbound State Route 305 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, June 11. Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will reduce the road to one lane approaching the Bainbridge terminal to complete traffic revisions.

Work includes installing new pavement markings, signs, and traffic signal displays at the Winslow Way and Harborview Drive intersections. When complete, the revisions will create a dedicated right lane for vehicle ferry traffic from north of Winslow Way to the terminal entrance.

Due to low tides, trucks with under 14" ground clearance will not be loaded onto the vessels between 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday, June 8. 

On Tuesday, May 28, the 90-vehicle Sealth replaced the 124-vehicle Kitsap on the Mukilteo/Clinton route for approximately the next four weeks due to limited vessel availability. 

This is a 34-car reduction in vessel capacity.  Customers may experience vessel loading delays.  We would ask our customers to be mindful of joining the queue at the end of the line.  We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we work to maintain our fleet. 

Would you like to help us improve the Washington State Ferries (WSF)? We’re seeking our riders’ feedback on customer service, reservations, fares, and more. Our next survey is coming soon so sign up for the Ferry Riders’ Opinion Group (FROG) today. Thank you! Your participation and input make a difference! If you are already a FROG member, you will get the next survey automatically. Thank you for your participation!

The overhead walkway at our Bainbridge terminal will be closed for two days next week. All ferry passengers will need to load and unload via the car deck on Wednesday and Thursday, June 12-13. During the closure, plan for possible boarding and offloading delays as crews replace the moveable section that raises and lowers to link up with the vessel. The pedestrian route alongside the holding lanes between the terminal building and the ferry will be clearly marked. This work is part of our new Bainbridge overhead walkway project, which is now entering its final stages.

Two of the four lanes on the dock at our Southworth terminal are closed for approximately three weeks beginning Monday, May 20. Crews are replacing the wooden decking of the walkway running along the south side of the pier. Plan for possible delays on our Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route and oversized Vashon-bound vehicles that require the completion of a travel request form will not be able to travel out of Southworth. Customers are encouraged to arrive early and – for those who can – take alternate routes. The walkway decking is badly in need of repair, and we must do this work now so it’s complete ahead of the busy summer travel season. 

Updates will be provided as conditions change when construction activities are underway. 

The Clinton Terminal Men's restroom is temporarily closed. There is a portable restroom on site. Updates will occur when conditions change.

The passenger elevator on the M/V Chimacum is temporarily out of service.  Customers may ask the crew for directions to the vessel service elevator. Technicians have been dispatched and updates will occur when more information is available.
