Schedules
Find Washington State Ferries schedules by route, best times to travel and low tide warnings.
You can view schedules by route or by date. Check low tide warnings for our Vashon Island and Mukilteo/Clinton routes, where large vehicles are sometimes restricted due to increased ramp angles.
Slow down on ice and snow.
It's easier to skid or lose control traveling at higher speeds. Give yourself more time to stop.
Carry chains, practice installing them.
Winter conditions could mean chains are required on your route. Practice putting them on your vehicle ahead of time.
Pack your winter car kit.
Carry extra supplies like warm clothing, ice scraper and brush, jumper cables and other emergency items.
