Reminder - Edm/King - Kingston Terminal Construction Started June 16

Reminder:

Beginning Monday, June 16, we began construction at the Kingston Ferry Terminal through July 2026. This work is part of a seismic retrofit project at the terminal. Ferry service will operate as normal, with one sailing delayed by the construction.  

Daily 5:30 a.m. sailing delayed  

The 5:30 a.m. sailing from Kingston to Edmonds will be delayed up to 10 minutes during construction. This delay is due to needing to move a vessel from its overnight tie-up location to where we board passengers in Kingston. We will depart on time whenever possible. Please continue to arrive for a 5:30 a.m. sailing, for the days we can leave on time.  

Impacts to bus connections until August 30 

This delay will cause a missed connection to Community Transit Route 909, which departs Edmonds Station at 6:10 a.m. on weekdays. Please see the Route 909 schedule for alternate bus times. Community Transit Route 130 is another bus option and departs Edmonds Station at 6:27 a.m. on weekdays. Starting August 30, the Community Transit Route 909 will have a service change to align with the delayed 5:30 a.m. sailing.  

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the Kingston terminal.
