Pets

All pets must be on leashes and are allowed in most passenger areas, except:

• Indoor food service areas, including onboard galleys.
• On seats or tables.
• About half of the indoor passenger cabin on the galley end of the vessel, as will eventually be marked by signs. Pets may pass through this area while boarding or leaving the vessel but should continue through to pet-friendly areas without lingering.

There will be a six-week education and transition period to help people learn the new rules before they take effect on July 1. By that date, signs will show where pets are allowed and not allowed. Pet owners are responsible for keeping their animals under control and cleaning up after them. At no time are any pets allowed on seats or tables. Large dogs must stay on the floor. Small dogs can sit on their owner’s lap or remain in a carrier. All other pets must always remain in a crate or carrier.

For safety reasons, or if a pet is not behaving appropriately, crew members may ask owners to move their pet to an outdoor deck or back into their vehicle.

Service animals

Service animals are allowed to accompany people with disabilities in all public areas of our terminals and vessels as required by state and federal law.

Owners must keep their service animal in control, and the animal must be housebroken.

Employees are authorized to ask:

• If the animal is a service animal.
• If the service animal is required because of a disability.
• What task the animal is trained to perform.

If you have any questions about service animals please contact the WSF ADA Accessibility Coordinator at 206-515-3437 or wsdotada@wsdot.wa.gov.

Livestock

All livestock are required to travel in an appropriate enclosure at all times.
