Tickets
Learn how to buy Washington State Ferries tickets, calculate fares, find information about refunds and more.
Your ticket does not guarantee your spot on a ferry. Ferries are loaded on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can make vehicle reservations to save a spot only on our Anacortes/San Juan Islands/Sidney, British Columbia and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes.
Traction tires are a special type of tire
manufactured with at least 1/8 of an inch tread. Traction tires are usually marked with a mountain/snowflake symbol, the letters M+S or “All Season.”
Carry chains, practice before leaving
Requiring chains keeps traffic moving during storms rather than closing a pass or roadway.
Prep your car. Fill up your gas tank,
pack jumper cables, ice scraper, warm clothing, snacks and water.
